Gulf nations have reported a series of attacks as the US-Israel conflict with Iran enters its fifth week, notably affecting major industrial infrastructure. Recent strikes included an Iranian attack on a key aluminium plant in Abu Dhabi, operated by Emirates Global Aluminium, injuring several individuals. Aluminium Bahrain reported that two of its employees were wounded in a separate incident targeting one of the world's largest aluminium smelting facilities. This escalation follows the involvement of Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis in the conflict, further raising concerns about potential disruptions to shipping routes, particularly in the Red Sea. The Houthis have claimed responsibility for missile assaults on Israel, warning of continued attacks. The ongoing situation has already led to spikes in oil and gas prices as Iran has effectively shut down the Strait of Hormuz, vital for global energy supplies. Reports indicate that if Houthi forces resume targeting maritime shipping, energy prices could surge even higher. In addition, Kuwait's defense ministry reported significant damage to its international airport's radar system due to drone attacks, and Oman is investigating recent drone strikes without any claimed responsibility. The conflict's toll also extends to journalists and health workers, with numerous casualties reported in Lebanon amid Israel's ongoing military operations.
