UAE Fujairah Port Attack — March 14, 2026

Date: March 14, 2026
Location: Fujairah, UAE
Perpetrator: Iran (attributed by OSINT reporting)

Summary

Fujairah is the UAE's only oil export terminal located outside the Strait of Hormuz, making it a critical piece of infrastructure for alternative export routing when Hormuz is constrained. On March 14, 2026, multiple areas of the port — a key installation and the UAE's only oil export terminal outside of the Strait of Hormuz — were seen burning in OSINT imagery.

Significance

The Fujairah ADCOP (Abu Dhabi Crude Oil Pipeline) terminal was already documented as damaged prior to this attack. The facility represents the UAE's primary bypass route for getting crude to market without transiting Hormuz. Damage to Fujairah effectively removes the UAE's primary alternative export route, compounding the supply shock.
