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.

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

        It doesn’t matter to me who broke the ceasefire first. All three of them suck. If Iran is bombing now, they are breaking 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

          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.

                    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.

          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
