Iran has carried out a sustained campaign of attacks across the Gulf, launching thousands of missiles and drones.
The sheer scale of Iranian attacks in the Middle East, over 6,400 incidents including more than 2,600 missiles and nearly 3,900 drones, demonstrates intent to overwhelm rather than defend.
The United Arab Emirates faced the biggest brunt of Iranian attacks, exposing Tehran’s willingness to target states far beyond those States which are directly involved in launching attacks on Iran.
Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Jordan, Iraq, Oman and even Cyprus have been struck by Iranian attacks, which threaten to expand the conflict beyond the Middle East.
Saudi Arabia alone has absorbed over 1,200 strikes, underscoring Iran’s direct hostility toward the Kingdom.
Iran’s heavy reliance on drones for its attacks reflects a strategy of saturation warfare designed to avoid air defences and create chaos and persistent insecurity within the society.
Iran’s targeting pattern clearly focuses on Gulf economies and trading hubs in order to intimidate, disrupt and coerce rather than achieve any military objective.
The Attacks on infrastructure, cities, and economic centres risk catastrophic consequences for regional stability, global energy security and international trade.
Iran’s actions are on the verge of dragging the entire Middle East towards wider conflict, endangering not just regional peace but global stability.
The above data exposes the reality that Iranian strategy is no longer either defensive or based on resistance, but is a systematic strategy to destabilise the entire Gulf and Arab world.
The Arab world’s patience is running out and could engulf this entire region in a major regional conflict, which Iran will not forget and the world will not forgive Tehran.
