Missiles Over The Marina: How Gulf Conflict Is Unraveling Dubai’s Real‑Estate Miracle
Missile and drone strikes on Dubai since early March have shattered investor confidence and precipitated a sharp collapse in property transactions and market indices. The attacks expose the emirate’s vulnerability: a small, wealthy expatriate class holds a large share of assets, and rapid capital flight could hit Dubai’s broader economy and reshuffle global luxury markets.
Aging Arsenal, Persistent Strikes: IRGC Says Decade‑Old Missiles Still Powering Attacks on US and Israel
The IRGC says most missiles used in recent strikes against the US and Israel were made about a decade ago and that many newer missiles remain unused. It also claimed roughly 700 missiles and 3,600 drones have been launched so far, a tally that, if true, signals a sustained Iranian capability that continues to challenge regional defenses and raise escalation risks.
Iran Says It Will Target USS Ford Support Facilities After Claiming Hundreds of Missile and Drone Strikes
The IRGC announced it has fired about 700 missiles and 3,600 drones, claimed hits on 18 US- and Israeli-linked vessels, and said it destroyed four THAAD systems. It has also declared logistics facilities supporting the USS Ford carrier strike group in the Red Sea to be legitimate targets, a move that elevates the risk to naval operations and maritime trade.
Iran Shifts to Sustained Strikes: Night Raid on U.S. Base in Kuwait and a Wider Campaign to Wear Down Washington and Tel Aviv
Iran says it has moved from isolated retaliation to a sustained campaign of multi‑wave strikes against U.S. and Israeli targets, claiming a night attack on a U.S. helicopter base in Kuwait that it says produced more than 100 wounded. The shift, combined with proxy operations and attacks on shipping, raises the prospect of a wider, protracted regional conflict with immediate economic effects on global energy markets.
Japan's Deployment of Long‑Range Missiles to Kumamoto Signals a Shift from Pacifism to Strike Capability
Japan's plan to station two long‑range missile systems in Kumamoto has ignited domestic debate and will reverberate across the region. The weapons — an upgraded anti‑ship missile with roughly 1,000 km reach and a vehicle‑mounted hypersonic glide system — mark a tangible shift toward longer‑range strike options that critics say contravene Japan's pacifist posture.
Iran Intensifies Missile Posture in 46th 'True Promise‑4' Operation, Deploying Heavy and Super‑Heavy Rockets
Iran has carried out the 46th round of its “True Promise‑4” military operation, deploying heavy and super‑heavy missiles in exercises that emphasize longer‑range strike capabilities. The manoeuvre is part of a sustained effort to professionalize and publicize Iran’s missile forces, with implications for regional deterrence and security calculations.
Iran and Hezbollah Claim Coordinated Missile-and-Drone Barrage on Over 50 Targets Across Israel, Says IRGC
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said it and Hezbollah conducted a five-hour coordinated missile-and-drone campaign striking more than 50 targets across Israel and claiming hits on US bases in Jordan and Saudi Arabia. Tehran framed the action as part of an ongoing campaign to alter battlefield realities, a development that raises the risk of broader regional escalation and complicates US and allied responses.
Tehran Rejects Ceasefire and Vows Sustained Missile Response, Signalling a Hardline Turn in the Israel–US Flashpoint
Iranian leaders have publicly rejected a ceasefire and warned they will continue missile attacks against perceived aggressors, signaling a willingness to use sustained force rather than return to talks with the United States. The rhetoric increases the risk of wider regional escalation while giving Tehran leverage in any future diplomatic calculations.
Silence in Tehran: Iran’s New Supreme Leader Vanishes as Region Braces for Escalation
Iran’s newly installed supreme leader, Mujtaba, has remained publicly absent since taking office, generating speculation about his safety and exposing fissures in Tehran’s security and political architecture. The gap in visibility comes as Tehran and the US and Israel exchange threats and strikes, raising the risk that uncertainty at the top could accelerate regional escalation and market shocks.
Iran’s IRGC Rejects Trump’s “Ceasefire” Suggestion, Warns Tehran Will Decide End of Hostilities
Iran’s IRGC dismissed President Trump’s suggestion that the conflict with Iran was ending, asserting Tehran will decide when hostilities stop. Tehran warned of heavier, longer-range missile launches and framed freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz as contingent on other countries’ diplomatic posture toward the U.S. and Israel.
Trump Calls Iran Strikes 'Short-Term' but Signals Open-Ended Campaign
President Trump described recent strikes on Iran as a "short-term operation" while promising to continue military pressure until Iranian forces are "completely defeated." His statement signals close U.S.-Israeli coordination but raises questions about the feasibility of quickly degrading Iran's drone and missile capabilities and the risk of wider regional escalation.
Iran Announces New Wave of Missile Strikes, Claims Hits on US Regional Bases and Northern Israel
Iranian state-linked media announced the IRGC launched the 30th round of an operation it calls "Real Promise-4," claiming missile and drone strikes on US bases in the region and targets in northern Israel. The footage and assertions include mentions of newer missile types and an unexpected reference to a "new" supreme leader, but these claims remain unverified and appear to form part of a broader Iranian information and deterrence campaign.
