Israeli officials confirmed that the Iron Dome missile defense system has been transferred to the United Arab Emirates as part of the Shir Garan operation. The announcement, made by Transport Minister Mary Rago, ends months of uncertainty about the system’s deployment. The move is seen as a strategic response to perceived threats from Iran.
The transfer marks a significant expansion of the Iron Dome’s reach beyond Israel’s borders, potentially extending protection to UAE airspace.
Details about the exact location of the installation within the UAE have not been disclosed.
