On March 10, Iran launched missile and drone attacks against Israel and Gulf Arab nations, prompting air defense systems to activate across the region. The UAE, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait intercepted incoming threats, with Saudi Arabia reporting downed Iranian drones.

Israel's Air Force engaged in defensive actions against missile fire from Iran and struck military sites in Tehran. The conflict has raised global oil prices temporarily, with Brent crude nearing $120 per barrel before settling around $91.

U.S. President Trump reassured markets, stating the conflict would not escalate into a prolonged regional war, while Iran's military emphasized its readiness to prevent oil exports from the region.
