IRGC strikes Emirates Global Aluminium Abu Dhabi site — 6 injured, significant damage

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced on Sunday March 29, via state broadcaster IRIB, that it had carried out missile and drone attacks on Saturday March 28 against aluminium facilities in both the UAE and Bahrain as retaliation for US-Israeli strikes on Iranian industrial infrastructure launched from Gulf military bases. In the UAE, Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) confirmed that one of its sites in Abu Dhabi — the Al Taweelah / EMAL facility — suffered significant damage, with six people injured. The IRGC described EGA as linked to the United States military and aerospace industries. The strike is part of Iran's pattern of targeting GCC industrial infrastructure it characterises as enabling the US-Israeli campaign against Iran. EGA is one of the world's largest aluminium producers and the largest industrial company in the UAE outside the oil and gas sector. The attack on its Abu Dhabi facility — combined with the simultaneous strike on Aluminium Bahrain (Alba, 2 injured) — signals Iran's willingness to target strategic Gulf industrial assets with regional and global supply chain consequences. Al Jazeera noted that the region accounts for 4–9% of global aluminium supply.
