(CNN) — Bahrain’s state news agency reported Sunday that Aluminium Bahrain (Alba), a major company in the country, was targeted Saturday in an Iranian attack that injured two employees. The company, also known as Alba, confirmed that the safety and security of its employees remains its top priority and that the incident resulted in two minor injuries. The Bahrain News Agency (BNA) added that Alba is currently assessing the extent of the damage to its facilities and remains focused on maintaining the continuity of its operations and the safety of its staff. The company will issue further updates as needed. Separately, Abu Dhabi-based Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) said Saturday that its site in Al Taweelah sustained “significant damage” from Iranian missile and drone attacks. Authorities had previously stated that debris from an intercepted ballistic missile caused three fires near Abu Dhabi’s Khalifa Economic Zone, injuring six people. Reuters reported that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed, without providing details, that the two companies had ties to the U.S. military and airlines. Alba had already shut down three smelting lines earlier this month, representing 19% of its annual production capacity, due to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, according to a previous company statement. The Middle East's aluminum sector accounts for approximately 9% of global supply, according to Reuters.

TEHRAN (Tasnim) - The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said its forces have launched missile and drone strikes against two industrial factories associated with the US military and aerospace industries in the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. "Following the malicious actions of the American-Zionist enemy in targeting the industrial infrastructure of our beloved country from the southern littoral states of the Persian Gulf, the fighters of the IRGC Aerospace Force and Navy carried out a hybrid and targeted operation, effectively hitting two industries associated with and connected to the military and aerospace industries of the US in the region, including the Emirates Aluminum (EMAL) factory in the UAE and the Aluminum Bahrain (Alba) factory in Bahrain, with missiles and drones," the IRGC said in a statement. According to IRGC, the EMAL factory has the longest aluminum production line in the world with a production capacity of 1.3 million tons, and the Alba aluminum factory, with investment and shares from American companies, plays a significant role in producing goods for the military industries of the US terrorist army. The IRGC added that Iran's response to the threats and aggressions of malicious enemies, as previously announced, will henceforth not follow the principle of "an eye for an eye," but rather, beyond any level of aggression, will deliver a more lethal blow to the military and economic structure of the enemies. The US and the Israeli regime launched a large-scale unprovoked military campaign against Iran following the assassination of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, along with several senior military commanders and civilians on February 28. The attacks have involved extensive aerial strikes on both military and civilian locations across Iran, causing significant casualties and widespread damage to infrastructure. In response, the Iranian Armed Forces have carried out retaliatory operations, targeting American and Israeli positions in the occupied territories and at regional bases with waves of missiles and drones.

In a statement carried by Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB overnight on Sunday, the IRGC claimed the sites targeted on Saturday were linked to the United States military. Aluminium Bahrain (Alba) said in a statement that two employees were injured in the attack on its facility, while the UAE’s Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) said one of its sites in Abu Dhabi suffered significant damage, and six people were injured. The strikes were retaliation for a US-Israeli attack on Iranian industrial infrastructure launched from military bases hosting US forces in the Gulf states, the IRGC said. “The significance of this is that of the global aluminium supply, estimates are that between 4 to 9 percent comes from this region … this certainly threatens global supply,” said Al Jazeera’s Zein Basravi, reporting from Dubai. Since the Middle East war erupted at the end of February, Bahrain and other Gulf countries have regularly been targeted by Iranian missile and drone strikes, with the US-Israel war on Iran now in its fifth week. ‘Very concerning’ Elsewhere, a worker in Oman was ⁠injured in a ⁠drone attack on Saturday at the Gulf country’s Salalah port, while Danish container shipping group ⁠Maersk said ⁠later that it temporarily halted its operations at ‌the port following the assault. Oman’s Foreign ⁠Ministry on Sunday ⁠condemned the attacks ⁠on its territory, adding ⁠that no party had claimed responsibility. It said authorities were investigating the ‌attacks’ “sources and motives” without providing further details. Saudi Arabia’s air defence systems intercepted and destroyed 10 drones over the past hours, the country’s Ministry of Defence said in a statement on Sunday morning. It did not disclose where the interceptions took place. Also, the Kuwaiti National Guard says it shot down four drones after air raid sirens sounded in the Gulf nation for a second time within hours. “If Iran continues at this pace by matching attack for attack, that is very concerning, especially since the number of attacks on Iran continues to go up and this conflict continues to escalate,” Al Jazeera’s Basravi noted. “If there is an escalation in Iran, it is inevitable that there will continue to be escalation in the Gulf Cooperation Council.”
