Drone strike sparks fire near UAE nuclear plant, no radiation leak reported

US President Donald Trump is expected to hold a Situation Room meeting on Tuesday with his top national security advisers to discuss the options for military action regarding Iran, Axios reported.

No one claimed responsibility, and the UAE did not blame anyone for what it said was an “unprovoked terrorist attack.” It has recently accused Iran of launching drone and missile attacks as tensions have risen over the Strait of Hormuz, a vital energy waterway gripped by Iran, which is under a US naval blockade.

The UAE has hosted air defences and personnel from Israel, which sparked the war by attacking Iran with the US on February 28. Trump spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday, Netanyahu’s office said.
