00:13A dramatic shift in the Gulf. The United Arab Emirates now preparing for war. Ready to join
00:22the United States in opening the Strait of Hormuz by force. A move that could change everything.
00:30For weeks, the UAE stayed on the sidelines, absorbing strikes, protecting infrastructure.
00:37But now, that stance is changing. According to Wall Street Journal's report, officials
00:43say Abu Dhabi is ready to take an active military role. The reason is clear. The Strait of Hormuz,
00:51a global energy lifeline. A choke point for oil, gas and trade. And now, under pressure.
00:58With Iran tightening its grip, the stakes have never been higher. The UAE is not acting alone.
01:05It is pushing for a global coalition, bringing in the US, Europe and Asian powers. Even lobbying
01:13for a UN resolution to authorize force. What would that role look like? Clearing sea mines,
01:19securing shipping lanes, supporting naval operations, and possibly taking control of key strategic
01:27islands. One idea, seizing key islands inside the strait, including Abu Musa, a disputed territory
01:35under Iranian control. A move that could further escalate tensions. Tehran has already warned any Gulf
01:43state supporting such action will face consequences. Strikes on infrastructure, escalation across the
01:51region. And the UAE has already been hit hard. Nearly 2,500 missiles and drones have targeted the UAE
02:00so far in this conflict. Yet, Abu Dhabi is now leaning into the fight. But not everyone agrees. Russia and
02:09China could
02:09block UN approval. France offering alternative plans. The world divided on how to respond. An area on edge.
02:18A waterway under threat. And now, a new player stepping into the conflict. If the UAE joins the fight,
02:26this war may be entering a far more dangerous phase.
02:51Fire in the Gulf, missiles over Dubai, and a night that shook one of the world's busiest cities.
02:59Iran has unleashed one of its most intense attacks yet. Dozens of ballistic missiles and swarms of drones
03:07raining down across the United Arab Emirates. Explosions near Dubai International Airport.
03:14Fires at major ports. Air defenses scrambling in the sky. This is no longer contained. The war has
03:23reached the Gulf's economic heart. The attack came in waves, late into the night and early morning hours.
03:30Dozens of ballistic missiles launched. Drone swarms followed. Targets were clear. Dubai International
03:37Airport, Jebel Ali Port, Al Dhafra Air Base, and key industrial zones in Abu Dhabi. At least 10 explosions
03:46reported near Dubai. Sirens blaring. Residents receiving emergency alerts. The Gulf on edge.
03:53Despite heavy interception, some missiles got through. Fires erupted at Jebel Ali Port,
04:00a critical global shipping hub. Airport infrastructure damaged. Flights suspended. Industrial zones hit.
04:08Oil linked facilities disrupted. This wasn't just a military strike. It was aimed at the UAE's economic
04:16backbone. The human cost is mounting. At least seven people killed. More than 40 injured, including
04:23foreign workers. Emergency teams rushed to contain fires. Authorities scrambled to restore order. But the
04:31shockwaves, both physical and economic, are far from over. Tehran has claimed responsibility,
04:39calling it retaliation for UAE's role in supporting U.S. and Israeli operations. The warning is direct.
04:46Any nation hosting American forces could become a target. This is not just a strike. It's a signal.
04:54Four weeks into the war, this marks a dangerous shift. Iran is expanding the battlefield.
05:00From Israel to U.S. bases to critical Gulf infrastructure. The strategy is clear.
05:08Raise the cost. Widen the pressure. And force a new equation. Missiles over Dubai. Ports in flames.
05:16Airspace under threat. The message is unmistakable. This war is no longer contained. And as the Gulf ignites,
05:25the world is watching what comes next.
05:27The world is watching what comes next.
05:48The world is watching what comes next.
05:53So this is a place for 1991.
05:53what you do behind,
