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.

      Iran condition for the cease fire was to include Lebanon . Iran did not breach the conditions, the usa and israel did

        It doesn’t matter to me who broke the ceasefire first. All three of them suck. If Iran is bombing now, they are breaching the ceasefire. “But they did it first!!” is the kind of school yard mentality we already have more than enough of in this world. Let’s not perpetuate the behaviour.

          Of course it matter who broke it. Once a deal is broken , Iran has the right to act and defend itself. It is not schoolyard mentality, it is ligitimate actions in conflicts

          What about the US and Israel launching an illegal war of aggression under the perfidious cover of negotiations, the second time in 8 months.

          Can we blame them for that or is that also “they did it first” Schoolyard hijinks?

            Sure we can. This is a bullshit war that nobody but Netanyahu wanted.

            What we can put under school yard shenanigans however, is your attempt at baiting me because you didn’t like my opinion.

            Grow the fuck up people.

              The usa and the major western countries wanted it. They just didn’t want one that would cause too much damage to the global economy

          Of course it does. Iran has the right to defend itself. The childish person is you. When you sign a contract if you broke it, it becomes null and the other side is no longer obliged to continue to follow it

            Like I said, I don’t give two shits about it. They’re both acting like assholes.

            You also may have missed it, but there was a new ceasefire after Israel violated the previous one.

            And you can stop with the name-calling, cause that is peak school yard mentality.

              Logic do not give two shit about what yo said either

              They’re both acting like assholes.

              and you can stop with the name-calling, cause that is peak school yard mentality.

              Only you can use the word childish ? When you say it it is not name calling and when I do it is named calling? If you can use it, so do I.

              They’re both acting like assholes.

              The assholes are the aggressors which are the USA/Israel and their allies . Iran acting after the USA and Israel made it null is fully legitimate and not an asshole move . Iran never agreed to any extension to any cease fire.

                Of course I’m not the only one who can use a word. Don’t be ridiculous. But saying “no u” is peak schoolyardism. Grow up.

                Also I’m not going to talk to an Irani-indoctrinated bot who is using the MAGA playbook. I’ve encountered enough MAGAts to recognize the signs in conversation.

                You can’t have an objective discussion unless you break free from it so there is no point for me in discussing anything with you until you do. Good luck.

                  I explained to you why I think you are childish. You are mad that I used the word childish toward you and called it name calling when you still attacking me personally , here you are now accusing me of being an Iranian bot

                  Also I’m not going to talk to an Irani-indoctrinated bot who is using the MAGA playbook. I’ve encountered enough MAGAts to recognize the signs in conversation.

                  Another childish statement from you . I am not an Iranian bot , I acknowledge that the regime is brutal and should stop oppressing it’s people but I refuse to reject Iran’s right to defend itself against an external threat threatening to genocide them and their right to act against the breach of the cease fire

          It’s been somewhat scientifically proven that being “nice” but retaliating is the most effective strategy when dealing with another party that over multiple encounters may choose to cooperate with you or betray you - this scenario is known as “The prisoner’s dilemma”.

          Good Veritasium video on the subject (YT)

            True. I didn’t mean it wasn’t a smart or strategic move.

            Just that there are no good guys in this war.

                Iran is the aggressor towards their own people. And Trump claims to have come to their aid , whether you believe that or not is another thing.

                So no, definitely not just the aggressor is bad guy and this is an exceptionally bad take.

                  We are talking about the war of agression on Iran . The only bad guys in the context is the usa/israel and all their backers.

                  You don’t have to tell me that Iran is an theocracy, I know it and I don’t support that. Comitting a genocide on Iran won’t save Iranians.

                  Nobody unbiased would believe Trump wanted to sace the protesters. It is a very bad take to believe that.

        It is not about who violated the ceasefire. The US is still saying that the ceasefire is holding.
