I believe this is fake. Iran repeatedly claims to have struck targets, without evidence to back it up.

The Dubai government denies this strike happened https://gulfnews.com/uae/dubai-denies-reports-of-an-irgc-att...

And the Oracle live status report webpage says everything is online, and there are no active incidents in Dubai. The history page reports no incidents in Dubai since the start of the conflict.

As an example of fake claims, Iran claimed to have struck the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln with hypersonic missiles three times already. But the ship is still sailing and launching sorties. They then post AI generated pictures and videos as 'evidence' that the strikes were successful.

It's also a warcrime, of course. I wonder if, if they lied, is it still a warcrime? I would expect it is.

I guess we'll see what the consequences are to warcrimes. Massive worldwide demonstrations in favor of the people committing warcrimes, like usually?

So it's down to a contest of whether to trust the government of Iran, or a cloud vendor status page?

Maybe we can check something hosted in Oracle Cloud as the tiebreaker?

What motivation would Iran have to not commit war crimes?

It's not as if the US and Israel are restraining themselves from committing war crimes. Certainly the UN isn't going to step in and do anything.

This war started with the US committing a war crime (blowing up a girl's school).
