Tensions in the Middle East reached a new peak on Saturday as Iran launched a series of retaliatory strikes against the United Arab Emirates, targeting the major oil hub of Fujairah. The escalation follows a significant military operation by the United States against Iranian energy infrastructure on Kharg Island just one day prior. Industry sources reported that oil-loading operations at Fujairah, a critical global bunkering and export terminal, were partially suspended as thick black smoke was seen rising from the facility.
