Emirati air defences intercept missiles in skies over Abu Dhabi

"Emirati air defences were seen intercepting missiles in the skies over Abu Dhabi on Saturday, as the US and Israel attacked Iran and the Iranian side launched a response. According to Emirati media, the UAE Defence Ministry said its air defences 'successfully intercepted a number of missiles' launched by Iran, and reported that one person had been killed. Donald Trump confirmed 'major combat operations' in Iran in a video posted on his Truth Social: "To the members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, the armed forces and all of the police, I say tonight that you must lay down your weapons and have complete immunity - or in the alternative, face certain death." Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said it was a joint operation to "remove the existential threat posed by the terrorist regime in Iran". He later called on the Iranian people to 'take their fate into their own hands'. The Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps then reported the 'first wave' of 'widespread missile and drone and attacks' against Israel was underway. Iran's Foreign Ministry stated: "History bears witness that Iranians have never bowed their heads in submission to foreign aggression". It comes following three rounds of talks between the Iranian and American sides, one in Muscat and two in Geneva in recent weeks. "
