UAE reports large fire at oil port after drone attack from Iran

We’re also hearing from local officials in Fujairah, who say a large fire has broken out at the key UAE oil port after it was hit by a drone attack from Iran.

Fujairah is the Emirates’ biggest port and oil storage facility. Before the ceasefire, it was also targeted in drone attacks.

In a statement shared on social media, the Fujairah Government Media Office says civil defence teams are working to contain the fire.

    Yes, but a case can be made that the countries came to the aid of the Irani people who were being killed by the thousands. That doesn’t mean it’s true. But you really need to stop defending Iran. They’re not the good guys you want to make them out to be.

    That being said I think it is still a war of aggression but your views are way too simplistic. Just because Iran was attacked doesn’t make them the good guy in general or in this war.

    Not every war is genocide. Don’t use it so lightly because it diminishes what happened in WW2 or in Gaza and an insult to those who died because of actual genocide. Killing protesters by the thousands is closer to genocide than the war Israel and US are waging on Iran.

    You really have some bad takes in this and it reflects poorly on you.

      There isn’t any case to be made. The USA and Israel want to destroy Iran as a country, not just the regime. I am defending a country being attacked by two of the most terrible countries. First is Israel, which is committing a genocide in Gaza and wants to steal land from other countries. They compare Iranians to Amalek, which is a call for genocide and the murder of babies. Second is the USA, which is responsible for millions of deaths by creating failed states, starting coups, and dropping the most bombs. ​Is another Libya or Iraq what you want? I am not using the word genocide lightly the agressors languages and actions proof it : destruction of schools, hospitals and cultural centers is all genocidal actions

      Both side are bad in a war is the most simplistic thing you can ever said. With your logic both the allies and axis in world war 2 are the same because many allies countries was innocent people in tbe colonized countries.

      Only the aggressors are the bad guys in the context of a war of agression

        That doesn’t automatically mean that the regime that’s defending Iran are the good guys…

        Of course nobody wants a next Iraq, but that is not the discussion here. It’s pointless to drag other wars into this discussion, because that is not what it is about. We have already clearly established that US and Israel are the aggressors and are bad guys, that they’re doing terrible things and have done terrible things in the past.

        The issue is that you claim that the third party in this war is somehow a good guy, which is not only utter nonsense, but also an insult to the thousands protesters who died over the last several years trying to fight the oppression by this so-called “good guy” of yours.

          I never said that

          Of course nobody wants a next Iraq, but that is not the discussion here

          The logic of both side are equally bad in a war of aggression remove the aggressed right to defend it’s country . The usa and israel definitelty want it to be the next Iraq.

          also an insult to the thousands protesters who died over the last several years trying to fight the oppression by this so-called “good guy” of yours.

          The biggest insult is to start a war pretending to save iranians from the terrible regime when it is to destroy the country and the old civilization . One of the biggest insult is seeing all the failed foreign intervention and still use the same rhetoric. Saddam killed 10 thousands of kurds and most people know that the war was wrong and was never about liberating Iraqis. Like I already say the regime is bad but in a context of war of agression only the agressor is the bad guys.

            I never said that

            Uhm. Yea you did:

            Me:

            Just that there are no good guys in this war.

            You:

            Only the agressor is the bad guy

            Dude are you serious?

            are equally bad in

            Now I literally never said that. They are all bad in different ways. This is just you trying to oversimplify things again for the sake of your argument. A straw man argument, if you will.

            a war of aggression remove the aggressed right to defend it’s country

            How does calling them bad guys remove the right of a country to defend themselves?

            The biggest insult is to start a war pretending to save iranians

            Whataboutism doesn’t change anything about the vileness of your own insult. But if you want to draw comparisons between yourself and the likes of Trump or Netanyahu, be my guest.

              Stop discusting in bad faith. I said in the context of a war of agression the only bad guys are the guys who started the war by bombing civilians including ovee 150 kids. Saying Iran in the bad guy in the context of the war , is rejecting it’s right to defend itself.

              You clearly in this post reject Iran right to defend itself by saying Iran can’t act after the usa broke the deal. Under international law they had the right to do what they did.

              Whataboutism is talking about the regime oppression of it’s people, when the topic is the war of agression.

                Funny. I was about to tell you the same thing. Or I actually already did in different words.

                And no. In this context there are no good guys in this war.

                Saying Iran in the bad guy in the context of the war , is rejecting it’s right to defend itself.

                How? You can’t just claim things without explaining.

                You clearly in this post reject Iran right to defend itself by saying Iran can’t act after the usa broke the deal.

                Where? Please quote me. And read the reply to the previous quote again.

                Whataboutism is talking about the regime oppression of it’s people when the topic is the war of agression.

                No, this statement of yours is whataboutism. “What about your own statement?”

                I’m talking about THE EXACT TOPIC of the discussion, namely the Irani regime. How ON EARTH can that be whataboutism? Please look up the definitions of terms you use if you don’t know.

                    Sounds like someone who is pissed because they can’t back up an argument for the life of them.
