US-Israel-Iran War LIVE: Iran Targets US Air Combat Center, Satellite Communications Hub at UAE Air Base

The ongoing conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran intensified after Iranian forces reportedly launched strikes targeting critical US military infrastructure at an air base in the United Arab Emirates.

According to reports and satellite imagery analysis, the strikes focused on facilities linked to an air combat coordination center and satellite communications systems used by US forces operating across the Gulf region. Such systems are essential for coordinating aircraft operations, intelligence sharing and missile defence activities.

One of the primary targets was believed to be Al Dhafra Air Base near Abu Dhabi, a key hub that hosts US Air Force units and advanced missile defence systems. The base plays an important role in supporting air missions and surveillance operations throughout the Middle East.

Satellite imagery and open-source intelligence assessments suggest that structures associated with radar systems, satellite communication terminals and command infrastructure were damaged in several strikes across Gulf-based facilities hosting US forces. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Iran has been carrying out retaliatory attacks on US and allied military sites after large-scale strikes on Iranian military infrastructure by the United States and Israel earlier in the conflict. Tehran has warned that any country hosting US military assets could become a potential target if those facilities are used for operations against Iran.

Regional air defence systems, including those operated by the UAE and US forces, intercepted many incoming missiles and drones. However, falling debris and limited impacts from intercepted projectiles have caused damage in some areas and disrupted civilian infrastructure.

The escalating confrontation has already affected multiple countries in the Gulf region, with missile and drone attacks reported near bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

International leaders continue to urge restraint as fears grow that the confrontation could expand into a broader regional war affecting global security, energy markets and international air travel.
