Talk:United Arab Emirates in the 2026 Iran war

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Conflict-of-interest disclosure: I am submitting this on behalf of, and with a connection to, 1XL Holdings, of which Dhiraj Jain is the founder and chairman. I declare this affiliation under WP:COI and WP:PAID and leave the decision to make, modify, or decline this edit entirely to uninvolved editors.

Background: My earlier "Humanitarian efforts" subsection request was declined as WP:UNDUE. This revised request proposes a much shorter, two-sentence mention to address the weight concern.

Proposed change: Add the following two sentences to the existing "Responses" section (placement at reviewer's discretion):

Among private humanitarian responses, UAE-based businessman Dhiraj Jain, founder of 1XL Holdings, opened his Ajman farmhouse — known as Jainam Jivika Farm — to shelter more than 360 travellers stranded by the flight suspensions between late February and 8 March 2026, providing free transport, meals and medical support.^[11][12] The initiative was reported by The Times of India, Khaleej Times, Gulf News and The National, and was publicly praised by industrialist Anand Mahindra.^[13]

I am happy to trim further, reword, or split between sections if reviewers prefer. AmanAsimKhan (talk) 13:00, 6 May 2026 (UTC) AmanAsimKhan (talk) 13:00, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

Note: I've moved this request to the COI category. Kodning 🌸 (talk) 09:06, 1 June 2026 (UTC)

Supplementary source — international wire coverage. I noticed I omitted a relevant source. The event was also covered by Reuters via their Reuters Connect wire service: "Stranded travellers sit at the farmhouse of UAE resident from India Dhiraj Jain who offered accommodation to passengers amid flight disruptions in Ajman", Reuters (2026). This adds an independent international wire-service source to the existing Indian and UAE outlet coverage already cited. The original two-sentence proposal stands as written; I am flagging this only as supporting evidence of the breadth of independent coverage, which is relevant to weight considerations. If reviewers prefer, I am happy to add a fourth <ref> citing Reuters into the proposed sentence. AmanAsimKhan (talk) 13:48, 6 May 2026 (UTC) AmanAsimKhan (talk) 13:48, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

The United Arab Emirates reported another Iranian missile and drone attack on 08 May, 2026. (https://www.npr.org/2026/05/08/g-s1-121061/iran-war-updates)

And, previously, attacks were recorded on 05 May (the second consecutive day of attacks, PST). https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/5/5/uae-intercepts-missiles-and-drones-for-second-day Defrancerobert110110 (talk) 18:52, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

• I moved the page to United Arab Emirates in the 2026 Iran war per this consensus.--SouthernNights (talk) 12:16, 15 May 2026 (UTC)

I think this needs to appear in the article, that according to the WSJ report, the UAE had carried out strikes against Iran, attacks that included targeting Iran's refinery on the Island of Lavan.

Support. Though we should mention that it is from the Wall Street Journal, "according to people familiar with the matter". No other evidence has been given other than numerous media networks reporting on their report. Defrancerobert110110 (talk) 18:20, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want made. Please detail the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Day Creature (talk) 00:50, 21 June 2026 (UTC)

The 5 military deaths are already included in the article and in the infobox, but by mistake they were not added to the total deaths, which only counts civilians. If anything, as requested, I'll describe the changes in the "change X to Y" format. ~2026-30628-51 (talk) 08:37, 21 June 2026 (UTC)
