Iran sets fire to a major gas field in the United Arab Emirates, damaging the country's upstream oil and gas facilities for the first time.

A large gas field in the United Arab Emirates was ignited as Iran intensified its strikes on key energy nodes. Meanwhile, US President Trump appealed to allies for assistance in reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The drone attack on the Shah gas field came close to the border between the UAE and Saudi Arabia. This marks the first time Iran has damaged the country's upstream oil and gas facilities during the conflict. The UAE government stated that operations at the gas field have been suspended and there were no casualties. The gas field is jointly operated by Abu Dhabi National Oil Company and Texas-based Occidental Petroleum. The UAE closed its airspace overnight due to attacks from multiple drones and missiles. Authorities said air traffic returned to normal by Tuesday morning. Just a day before the attack, Iran also struck a fuel depot at Dubai's main airport, sending a huge plume of smoke over the world's busiest international transport hub and causing brief flight disruptions.
