Report says UAE carried out secret strikes on Iran, hit refinery on Lavan Island The Wall Street Journal reported that the United Arab Emirates secretly carried out a series of attacks against Iran during the ongoing conflict involving the United States and Israel. The newspaper said one of the attacks targeted a refinery on Lavan Island in early April, causing a large fire and shutting the facility down around the time President Donald Trump was preparing to announce a ceasefire. According to the report, Iran later responded by launching ballistic missiles and drones at the UAE and Kuwait, while one source said Washington quietly welcomed Abu Dhabi’s involvement.
