00:01Smoke rises from an area housing oil infrastructure in the United Arab Emirates, Fujairah, after an Iranian drone attack.
00:09There's more smoke about 100 kilometers west, in the vicinity of Dubai International Airport,
00:16the result of another drone attack that disrupted flights.
00:20Iran's Revolutionary Guards said Monday they targeted military bases in the UAE, as well as in Bahrain,
00:27that had been used in attacks by U.S. forces.
00:30I think our armed forces have already answered that they would retaliate if our oil and energy infrastructure are attacked.
00:43Since the U.S. and Israel began strikes on Iran on February 28th,
00:48Tehran has launched more than 2,000 retaliatory missile and drone attacks on the Gulf Arab countries.
00:54The UAE, which has borne the brunt of them, says it won't be bullied.
00:58It's been pretty unprecedented what's happened and almost unhinged, I would say,
01:05to have Iran lash out at the very people who've been calling for de-escalation.
01:13This doesn't deter us because we're also a resilient bunch
01:16and we don't take to trying to being bullied around either.
01:21Saudi Arabia intercepted more than 60 drones overnight into Monday, its defence ministry said,
01:27while Qatar intercepted a missile.
01:30If they stop the attacks, then we can find a way out through diplomacy.
01:35But as long as our countries are being attacked, this is not the time to establish committees.
01:39It's the time to take a very principled position in protecting our countries.
01:44Iran says it's aiming at any U.S. presence in the region
01:48and warned Monday that it would also target American companies.
