Missile debris kills 3rd Pakistani in UAE amid Iran war | Iran-US War | 06 PM News Update | 17 March 2026

President Donald Trump was warned that attacking Iran could trigger retaliation against U.S. Gulf allies despite his claims on Monday ​that Tehran's reaction came as a surprise, said a U.S. official and two sources familiar with U.S. intelligence reports.
Pre-war ‌intelligence assessments did not say that Iran’s response was "a guarantee, but it certainly was on the list of potential outcomes," said one source, who like the other two requested anonymity to discuss the issue.

The president twice on Monday said that Iran’s retaliatory strikes against Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Kuwait were ​a surprise, the first time at a Kennedy Center board meeting in the White House.
"They (Iran) weren’t supposed to go after all ​these other countries in the Middle East," he said. "Nobody expected that. We were shocked."
Trump’s assertion followed other administration claims ⁠that have not been backed by U.S. intelligence reporting, such as that Iran would soon have a missile capable of hitting the U.S. ​homeland and that it would need two to four weeks to make a nuclear bomb and would then use it.

Those allegations and an imminent ​threat posed by Iran to the U.S. and its forces in the region have been among varying reasons that Trump and some top aides have given to justify his decision to join Israel in launching their air war against Iran on February 28.
Trump was also briefed ahead of the operation that Tehran would likely seek ​to close the economically vital Strait of Hormuz, according to two other sources familiar with the matter.
Over the past two weeks, Iranian drones ​and missiles have struck targets in the Gulf states that have included U.S. military bases and an Emirates base hosting French troops, civilian structures, including hotels, airports, and ‌energy ⁠facilities.
Iran has also halted almost all shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of oil supplies move, causing global energy prices to spike.
