Summary
Iranian missiles and drones struck Abu Dhabi, Manama, Amman and Tel Aviv after a US-Israeli attack, with civilians reported killed in the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait and Israel.
The report says Tehran targeted Gulf neighbors as well as Israel, underscoring that the attacks did not distinguish between Arab and Jewish populations.
Monitoring groups also recorded a rise in antisemitic incidents in Western cities within days of the war, including attacks on synagogues, Jewish schools and charities; some plots were linked to IRGC fronts.
The piece argues the strikes have reinforced the Abraham Accords rather than weakened them, with UAE-Israel ties and regional trade still running in the billions despite the war.
With Iran's terror plots now surging in the West, are current international sanctions and security measures sufficient to protect civilians?

After the US-brokered ceasefire, what prevents Iran from again weaponizing the Strait of Hormuz and holding the global economy hostage?
The 2026 Iran Conflict: Causes, Missile Strikes, Humanitarian Crisis, and Regional Fallout
Overview
The 2026 regional conflict began with the assassination of Iran’s Supreme Leader, an act widely seen as the result of US and Israeli attacks. This unprecedented escalation destabilized the region and triggered a rapid cycle of retaliation, including Iranian missile strikes against Israel and Gulf states. The violence caused massive destruction, especially in urban areas, and led to a severe humanitarian crisis with millions displaced. Despite a US-Iran peace framework and a ceasefire in April, the situation remains fragile, with ongoing security risks, slow reconstruction, and deep mistrust among regional actors, making lasting peace difficult to achieve.
