India, Aug. 19 -- US-Israel-Iran War Latest News: The UAE has escalated its response to Iran after its defence ministry said it detected two ballistic missiles launched from Iranian territory on Tuesday, August 18. The missiles fell into the sea, but the incident marked the first such reported launch since May and triggered a new security alert across the Gulf. Iran has denied responsibility.

Abu Dhabi has since suspended all trade, commercial exchanges and financial transactions with Iran until further notice. The development comes as the wider US-Iran conflict continues to disrupt shipping around the Strait of Hormuz and put additional pressure on regional relations.
