**Tensions Rise as Iran Continues Missile Attacks on Neighbouring Countries** In a worrying development, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Kuwait have all come under attack from Iran's missiles and drones. This is the latest in a series of escalating tensions between Iran and its neighbours. The attacks come just a day after Iran's president apologized for previous attacks on US facilities in the region. However, it seems that apology has not been enough to calm the situation, as the neighbouring countries are still reeling from the latest missile attacks. The UAE's defence ministry has confirmed that its air defence systems are working to counter the incoming missiles and drones, which have been detected heading towards the country. Kuwait, on the other hand, has reported that two of its border guards were killed in the attacks, while its military is working to stop the "hostile missile and drone attacks". In a precautionary measure, Kuwait's national oil company has announced that it will reduce crude oil production to minimize the risk of disruptions to energy supplies. This is a significant development, given the importance of oil exports to the country's economy. The situation in Kuwait is particularly dire, with reports of a drone attack on fuel tanks at its international airport. Although the fire has been brought under control, the incident highlights the vulnerability of critical infrastructure to such attacks. The motives behind Iran's continued aggression are unclear, but one thing is certain: the situation is becoming increasingly volatile. As tensions continue to rise, it remains to be seen how the region will respond to this new wave of aggression. For Nigerians, this development serves as a reminder of the fragile security situation in the Middle East and the risks of instability spreading to other parts of the world. As always, it will be crucial to keep a close eye on developments in this region and to stay informed about any potential implications for Nigeria.
