Israel Deploys Iron Dome to UAE Amid Iranian Missile Threats

Israel has deployed its Iron Dome air defense system to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in response to a significant increase in missile and drone attacks from Iran. This deployment, which includes personnel to operate the system, marks the first time the Iron Dome has been transferred to another country. The decision followed a request for assistance from UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The UAE faced the highest number of Iranian missile and drone launches during the conflict, with 550 ballistic and cruise missiles and 2,200 drones reportedly launched by Iran. While most were intercepted, some did hit military and civilian targets. The deployment of the Iron Dome has been seen as a significant step in military cooperation between Israel and the UAE.
