Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targeted Aluminium Bahrain and Emirates Global Aluminium in response to US-Israeli attacks on Iranian infrastructure. The IRGC claimed the strikes were linked to US military operations. Aluminium Bahrain reported two injuries, while Emirates Global Aluminium reported significant damage and six injuries at its Abu Dhabi site.
