An Israeli military official said the army remained on high alert and was monitoring the situation after the US admiral announced the destroyed Iranian boats and shot-down missiles.

Denmark's freight giant Maersk has said that one of its ships has successfully sailed through the Strait of Hormuz under US escort.

The ship, US-flagged Alliance Fairfax, had been stuck in the Gulf since the war erupted in February and was "offered the opportunity" to leave accompanied by the US military.

"The vessel subsequently exited the Persian Gulf accompanied by US military assets" on May 4, the company said in a statement.

"The transit was completed without incident, and all crew members are safe and unharmed."

New Delhi has said the reported Iranian attack on the UAE's Fujairah that resulted in injury to three Indian nationals is "unacceptable".

"We call for immediate cessation of these hostilities and the targeting of civilian infrastructure and innocent civilians. India continues to stand for dialogue and diplomacy to deal with the situation, so that peace and stability may be restored across West Asia," a spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs said.

"We also call for free and unimpeded navigation and commerce through the Strait of Hormuz in keeping with international law. India stands ready to support all efforts for a peaceful resolution of issues," the statement read.

The United Arab Emirates's education ministry has ordered all schools to return to remote teaching for the remainder of the week following fresh attacks on the country by Iran.

The United Kingdom, France, Germany and Saudi Arabia have called for de-escalation in the Middle East following reported attacks on the United Arab Emirates.

Britain's Prime Minister said that the "escalation must cease", while German Chancellor Friedrich Merz wrote on X that "Tehran must return to the negotiating table and stop holding the region and the world hostage."

Iran had "no pre-planned programme" to attack oil facilities in the United Arab Emirates, Iranian state TV has said.

"The Islamic Republic had no pre-planned programme to attack the oil facilities in question, and what happened was the product of the US military's adventurism to create a passage for ships to illegally pass through the forbidden passages of the Strait of Hormuz, and the US military must be held accountable for it," an Iranian military official told state TV.

"US officials must end the ugly behaviour of using force in the diplomatic process and stop military adventurism in this sensitive oil region that affects the economies of all countries in the world," the official added.

US President Donald Trump has warned Iran will be "blown off the face of the Earth" if they attack US vessels escorting stranded ships through the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump's statement came a day after he announced an operation -- Project Freedom -- to escort trapped vessels through the key route.

Three Indians were injured after a drone attack from Iran caused a fire at a major UAE oil industry zone.

The UAE said it came under a barrage of missiles and drones from Iran.

"These attacks represent a dangerous escalation and an unacceptable transgression, posing a direct threat to the state's security, stability, and the safety of its territories," the UAE's foreign ministry said in a statement.

The UAE also said a strike targeted an energy installation in the emirate of Fujairah.

A ceasefire between Iran and the United States risks collapse as the two countries traded fire over the strategic Strait of Hormuz.

A US admiral said American forces sank six small Iranian ships. The Islamic republic denied any combat vessels had been hit, but accused the US of killing civilians on boats.

US forces "attacked two small boats carrying people... they martyred five civilian passengers and must be held accountable for their crime," Iranian state TV posted on Telegram.
