Iran responded by launching missiles at U.S. sites in Jordan, which were intercepted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the lull in fighting, the U.S. has been ratcheting up\u00a0economic pressure on Iran\u00a0with the hope of forcing concessions out of Tehran, including reopening the Strait of Hormuz to shipping.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the\u00a0U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on Feb. 28, Iran established a chokehold on the vital strait, though which a fifth of the world\u2019s traded oil passed in peacetime, slowing ship traffic to a trickle. That has roiled the global economy, raising prices worldwide for energy and other goods.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the fighting resumed, the price of Brent crude oil, the international standard,\u00a0climbed above $90, up about 25% from the start of the war, presenting a growing problem for U.S. President Donald Trump before the midterm elections.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A return to open conflict would be dangerous for the region, where Iran has targeted U.S. military bases and infrastructure in Gulf countries since the war began.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the wake of the renewed violence, Anwar Gargash, a diplomatic adviser to the UAE\u2019s president, said on social media said \u201cthe state of neither war nor peace cannot be a sustainable solution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He called for a political solution that would return normal navigation to the Strait of Hormuz, but also a \u201cmore realistic approach\u201d than the June memo of understanding between Iran and the U.S. which, he said, \u201cfailed to outline a practical and acceptable\u201d road map.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">UAE says Iranian attack is a \u2018dangerous escalation\u2019<\/h4>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a short statement earlier, the UAE Defense Ministry said that it \u201cdealt with\u201d an Iranian drone that was detected over its waters approaching from Iran. There were no reports of damage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis dangerous escalation constitutes a blatant violation of the UAE\u2019s sovereignty, security, and stability, and a direct threat to the safety of its citizens and residents,\u201d the Foreign Ministry said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Defense Ministry later issued a second statement denying a claim by the Iranian army that the Al Minhad Air Base in Dubai had been targeted, saying it was false.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the wake of the U.S. attack on Sunday, Iran\u2019s Foreign Ministry said Monday that Iran would \u201cnot hesitate to exercise the inherent right of legitimate defense and will respond decisively to any military aggression.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Iran says it has right to defend itself and will \u2018respond decisively\u2019<\/h4>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before heading to attend the\u00a0Shanghai Cooperation Organization\u2019s summit\u00a0in Kyrgyzstan with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, who has favored a negotiated end to the conflict, stressed that Iran wasn\u2019t seeking war.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBut,\u201d he said, \u201cwe will respond decisively to aggressors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The summit brings together a group billed as a counterweight to U.S. global influence, and includes Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Pezeshkian was scheduled to meet with Putin on the sidelines on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">US weekend attack comes after weeks of rising economic pressure<\/h4>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meantime, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was set to\u00a0host meetings\u00a0of the Group of 20 finance ministers in North Carolina on Monday and Tuesday, which come as Washington pressures other countries to help the U.S.\u00a0economically isolate Iran.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shifting strategy centers on threats to punish any country or entity that continues to\u00a0conduct business with Tehran.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two weeks ago, the\u00a0UAE suspended all trade\u00a0with Iran after saying it had come under renewed fire from Iran with two missiles fired at shipping traffic splashing down harmlessly in the Persian Gulf. Iran denied the attack.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bessent later\u00a0suggested it was pressure from Washington\u00a0that led to the UAE decision.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump stressed last week that he is\u00a0\u201cnot in a hurry\u201d\u00a0to get Iran\u00a0back to the negotiating table, and he continues making the case that the\u00a0Islamic Republic\u2019s leadership is on the ropes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Appointments to Iran\u2019s senior security leadership\u00a0in the past month, however, have signaled Tehran\u2019s defiance after weathering decades of sanctions as well as a lack of tolerance for dissent at home.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">US military says strike on Iranian rocket launchers \u2018precise\u2019<\/h4>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Sunday, U.S. Central Command said it had struck Iranian launchers after observing forces with Iran\u2019s Revolutionary Guard Corps preparing to launch rockets with sea mines into the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. military said last week that it had completed clearing sea mines from the waterway\u2019s international shipping routes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. military officials disputed Iran\u2019s claim that the latest American strikes were an act of aggression, calling them a \u201climited, precise action\u201d against what they said were minelaying forces.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iranian state television later showed what it said were ballistic missiles being fired at American bases in Jordan, and Jordan\u2019s military said that it intercepted eight that had entered its airspace.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The last time the U.S. military confirmed targeting Iran was on July 29, when it announced a \u201cheavy wave of strikes\u201d on dozens of Revolutionary Guard targets including coastal surveillance and defense sites.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>#UAE #intercepts #Iranian #drone #waters #dangerous #escalation #Iran #war<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United Arab Emirates said &hellip;
