The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has arrested 19 Indians for sharing "misleading and fabricated content" amid the ongoing Iran war. They are a part of a group of 35 people who have been detained by the authorities for posting videos on social media. They are separate from the 10 people who were arrested on Saturday. The UAE has been telling people not to share videos of interceptions, attack sites and unverified footage and photos. Such acts are considered a criminal offence and are punishable under the law with imprisonment of at least 1 year and a fine of at least AED 1,00,000. Their arrest was ordered by UAE attorney-general Dr Hamad Saif Al Shamsi on March 15.

A video circulating online appeared to show a high-rise building in Bahrain ablaze following an explosion as a result of a possible Iranian drone strike. Scroll down to watch the video. The unconfirmed footage appears to show one of a series of Iranian retaliatory strikes targeting US military assets in Bahrain on Saturday (Feb 28) amid the widening confrontation between the Islamic Republic on one side and the US and Israel on the other. Bahrain residents reported explosions and air raid sirens, and authorities issued shelter advisories in affected areas.Bahrain’s government confirmed that sites within the kingdom were struck, including facilities associated with the US naval base in the Juffair district of Manama. Officials condemned the attack as a violation of national sovereignty.<h2>Iran strikes at US bases and military interests across the Gulf</h2>Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it launched missiles and Shahed-type drones at US bases and military assets across the Gulf, including the headquarters of the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet in Bahrain.
