UAE and Bahrain aluminium plants hit in retaliatory strikes.

Just read that Iran's attacks targeted major aluminium plants in the UAE and Bahrain, causing damage and some injuries (thankfully not life-threatening). This marks a serious escalation, directly hitting key Gulf industries. Both companies, Emirates Global Aluminium and Aluminium Bahrain, are assessing the damage. The wider conflict is already disrupting supply chains, with the Strait of Hormuz closure forcing producers to look at much more expensive overland routes for exports and imports. https://www.thenationalnews.com/business/2026/03/29/uae-and-bahrains-main-aluminium-producers-damaged-by-iranian-attacks/
