The attack occurred\u00a0amid\u00a0escalating regional tensions, with Gulf countries increasingly affected by Iran\u2019s retaliatory missile and drone campaign during the ongoing US-Israeli war. Amid the conflict, four Pakistani nationals have died in the UAE due to falling debris from missile interceptions.<\/p>\n

The incident comes as\u00a0intensifying regional tensions following a sharp escalation between the United States and Iran. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed it had downed multiple US aircraft, including C-130 transport planes and Black Hawk helicopters, during a rescue operation in Isfahan province, as Tehran stepped up retaliatory strikes.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump warned Iran it would be \u201cliving in Hell\u201d if it failed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil route that has remained effectively closed for weeks. The conflict has triggered missile and drone attacks across Gulf countries, targeting key infrastructure and raising fears of wider regional instability.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
