The UAE has reported over 2,800 attacks by Iran in 40 days, with more than 90% targeting civilian infrastructure

April 20 — According to Politico, the UAE’s Minister of State reported Sunday that the country was targeted by more than 2,800 missiles and drones in the first 40 days of the U.S.-Iran war, with over 90% of the targets being civilian infrastructure. UAE Minister of State for International Cooperation Reem Al Hashimy said Sunday local time that Iran is seeking to destroy the UAE’s “model of prosperity and tolerance.” Asked if she agrees with Trump’s assessment on regime change in Iran, Hashimy expressed doubt about whether there has been a substantive shift in Iran’s leadership. “I know there have been personnel changes — different figures are now in place,” she noted. “But how that impacts the nature of the Revolutionary Guard remains to be seen, and it doesn’t look promising at the moment.” When asked about concerns over Trump’s threats, Hashimy stated the UAE views “maximum pressure” as necessary for progress, while warning against attacks on civilians.
