The Middle East's largest aluminum plant was attacked, impacting the global aluminum supply chain. Iran's Revolutionary Guard used missiles and drones to strike aluminum plants in the UAE and Bahrain, damaging the core smelter of Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA). Aluminum prices are expected to rise due to supply tightness, putting pressure on the global economy. The Middle East accounts for approximately 9% of global aluminum supply; this attack has severely affected production and exports, and it will take time to restore operations. EGA has reserved metal inventory overseas to maintain supply

- The largest aluminum plant in the Middle East was struck, impacting the global aluminum supply chain.  
- The Iranian Revolutionary Guard confirmed missile and drone strikes on U.S.-related aluminum facilities in the UAE and Bahrain, exacerbating the already tight global aluminum market.  
- As a major supplier, the UAE's EGA faces operational disruptions, which could elevate aluminum prices and intensify economic pressures worldwide.
