Iran launched missiles and drones at UAE targets again today. Second consecutive day. IRGC denied involvement but the UAE defense ministry confirmed interceptions both days.
Yesterday a drone strike sparked a fire at the Fujairah oil facility. Fujairah handles about 1.7 million barrels per day, roughly half of UAE export capacity. It was the workaround for Hormuz being closed since March because it lets shipments bypass the strait via the Gulf of Oman. If that facility is compromised the UAE loses its bypass route.
The US Navy escorted 2 ships through yesterday under Project Freedom. They shot down cruise missiles and sank 6 Iranian boats in the process. 2 ships moved out of more than 2,000 waiting.
Brent at 115. Gas at 4.46 a gallon nationally. The ceasefire technically holds but both sides are actively firing at each other.

“The ceasefire technically holds but both sides are actively firing at each other.”
You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means.
