Iran's army says it attacked Abu Dhabi's Al Minhad Air Base with drones
Question
Iran's army says it attacked Abu Dhabi's Al Minhad Air Base with drones
Direct answer
Even though the UAE denied the base was hit, the claim alone heightens perceived regional spillover risk, which can lift Gulf energy and defense risk premia and pressure UAE-sensitive assets.
