Status Update: Renewed IRGC Strikes on Qatar and UAE

Date: February 28, 2026 | Time: 1:35 PM

Following the initial retaliation this morning, reports indicate a renewed wave of Iranian missile and drone strikes targeting strategic locations in Doha and Abu Dhabi.

1. UAE: Abu Dhabi

• Current Situation: Residents in Abu Dhabi report hearing new explosions within the last hour.

• Casualties: UAE state media (WAM) has confirmed one fatality resulting from falling shrapnel.

• Defense Response: UAE Air Defenses are actively engaging incoming targets. Authorities have issued emergency alerts to residents' mobile phones, advising them to take immediate shelter.

• Aviation: Airspace remains partially closed; major carriers have suspended all flights to Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

2. Qatar: Doha

• Current Situation: Fresh rounds of explosions have been heard across Doha.

• Official Stance: The Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement condemning the strikes as a "blatant violation of national sovereignty" and affirmed its right to respond.

• Al Udeid Air Base: US Central Command (CENTCOM) remains on high alert. Reports indicate some non-essential personnel were evacuated earlier, while active combat units are in reinforced bunkers.
