Israel sent an Iron Dome air-defense system to the United Arab Emirates during the early stages of the war with Iran. The system, along with several dozen Israeli soldiers to operate it, was deployed to protect the UAE, a strategic partner. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the deployment following a call with Emirati President Mohammed bin Zayed. The Iron Dome successfully intercepted dozens of Iranian missiles. Iran fired around 550 ballistic and cruise missiles and over 2,200 drones at the UAE, more than at any other country during the war.
