Iran Strikes Depot Of Ukrainian Anti-Drone Systems In Dubai.

Tehran; March 2026: An Iranian military official – Spokesperson of the Khatam al Anbiya Central Headquarters says the country has carried out coordinated attacks in Dubai targeting a Ukrainian air defense equipment depot supporting US forces. Lieutenant Colonel Ebrahim Zolfaqari said today (29th March 2026) that the operation was simultaneous with strikes on hideouts of American commanders and troops in Dubai, which resulted in heavy casualties.

The spokesperson added that an “air defense systems storage facility belonging to Ukraine”, where 21 Ukrainian nationals were present, was struck and “destroyed” in a joint IRGC Aerospace and Naval Forces operation. The official said there is no confirmed information about the fate of the Ukrainian personnel at the site, noting that they were “likely killed”.

The United States and Israel launched a large-scale and unprovoked war of aggression against Iran on February 28, assassinating Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei and several high-ranking military commanders despite indirect Tehran-Washington negotiations on Iran’s peaceful nuclear program. In response, Iranian armed forces immediately initiated powerful missile and drone operations against US interests across West Asia and Israeli positions in the occupied territories.

Furthermore, in a sheer display of their strength, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has announced targeting two industries connected to US military and aerospace sectors in a combined missile and drone operation. The Corps said the strikes were carried out jointly by its Aerospace Force and Navy in response to “the malicious actions of the US-Zionist enemy targeting the industrial infrastructure of our beloved country from the Persian Gulf’s littoral states”.

The two targeted facilities were identified as the Emirates Aluminum (EMAL) plant and the Aluminum Bahrain (ALBA) plant. The statement highlighted their strategic significance, noting that EMAL houses the world’s longest aluminum production line with a capacity of 1.3 million tons, while ALBA operates with American investment and shareholding. The latter, it added, “plays a significant role in supplying the military-industrial production of the US terrorist army”.

The IRGC emphasised that Iran’s response to threats and acts of aggression “will no longer follow a mere ‘eye for an eye’ approach. Instead, beyond any level of aggression, a decisive blow will be delivered to the military and economic structure of the enemies”.

The strikes have followed targeting of numerous infrastructural facilities inside Iran during the United States’ and the Israeli regime’s latest bout of unprovoked aggression against the Islamic Republic that began late last month.

The aggressors have, among other targets, struck the country’s major steel producers, universities, schools, hospitals, and residential areas. Shortly after the onset of the American-Israeli aggression on February 28, the Corps launched unrelenting retaliatory strikes against sensitive and strategic enemy targets across the region using hundreds of ballistic and hypersonic missiles as well as attack drones.

While confirming the claims of the IRGC, Emirates Global Aluminum (EGA) says its key production site in Abu Dhabi suffered significant damage following Iranian missile and drone strikes, with several employees injured.

In a statement released yesterday, EGA confirmed that its Al Taweelah facility, located in Khalifa Economic Zone, was hit during the Iranian retaliatory strikes. The company reported multiple injuries among staff, though none were described as life-threatening.

Chief Executive Abdulnasser Bin Kalban said the company is prioritising worker safety while assessing the extent of the damage. EGA noted that its Al Taweelah smelter produced 1.6 million metric tons of aluminum in 2025, alongside 2.4 million tons of alumina from its nearby refinery. The company added that it has existing stock both in transit and stored overseas, and is exploring alternative logistics routes, including shipments via the Omani port of Sohar.
