The Iranian airstrikes using missiles and drones continue against several Arab countries, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan in recent hours.
The Saudi Ministry of Defense announced in successive statements that it intercepted and destroyed 57 drones targeting the eastern region of the kingdom.
For its part, the UAE Ministry of Defense stated that it is dealing with "missile and drone attacks coming from Iran," confirming in a previous statement that the country faced attacks involving 1,740 drones, 338 ballistic missiles, and 15 cruise missiles since the conflict began at the end of last month.
The Kuwaiti army announced that it repelled hostile missile and drone attacks, indicating that the country was targeted on Friday by an assault involving 25 drones and a ballistic missile, managing to destroy 15 drones, while eight drones fell "outside the threat area," with two drones targeting vital facilities.
The Bahrain Defense Force reported that it intercepted and destroyed 143 missiles and 242 drones that targeted the kingdom since the Iranian assaults began.
A reporter from Al Jazeera in Jordan reported the fall of missile debris in the capital, Amman.
Experts warned of the direct impact of the military conflict on energy infrastructure in the Gulf region, noting that this could threaten the balance of supply and demand at the global level.
The majority of Gulf Cooperation Council countries and Jordan have faced Iranian attacks since the beginning of what the source described as the American-Israeli war on Tehran on February 28. Tehran claims it targets "American interests" in the region, while these attacks have resulted in casualties and damage to vital facilities and civilian targets, which the targeted countries condemned.
