IRGC 230-drone barrage targets Gulf facilities — UAE downs 121 drones + 3 BM; Ras Tanura refinery struck; Qatar intercepts 10 drones + 2 CM

Al Jazeera reports detailed intercept data from the March 4 IRGC drone barrage across the Gulf. UAE air defenses downed 121 drones and 3 ballistic missiles targeting the US consulate in Dubai and Fujairah port. Qatar intercepted 10 drones and 2 cruise missiles. Strikes also hit Ali Al Salem Air Base and Camp Arifjan in Kuwait, and critically struck the Ras Tanura refinery complex in Saudi Arabia — one of the world’s largest oil export terminals processing approximately 6.6 million barrels per day capacity. The Ras Tanura strike adds direct production-side oil disruption on top of the existing Hormuz transit disruption, potentially compounding the price shock. Combined with Kuwait’s 380+ intercept engagements, the total Gulf state interceptor expenditure raises acute ammunition depletion concerns.
