The World Cup knock-out rounds have begun. The US is still alive.
Also, there is a huge holiday weekend looming. You may have heard something about it.
Additionally, both sides are not slinging crap at each other because of the holiday and the funeral of the ayatollah. I expect resumption of the normal routine of attacking shipping and us responding by bombing something on the coast to resume once this weekend passes.

How do you “harden against at least drone attacks”? It’s a serious question, I have no idea.
It's a good question. Other than a competent and layered air defense system, the only real way to harden the infrastructure would be to build what amounts to cope cages along the pipeline that covers the exposed pipeline.
Saudi Arabia started building cages around their utility infrastructure to help protect against drone attacks. I assume UAE would do something similar with potentially vulnerable stretches of pipeline.
The most likely approach would be layered with air defense, monitoring and infrastructure protection via things like cages, building below the surface, etc.

BREAKING | Gulf States Voice Growing Concerns Over the U.S.-Iran Deal
• According to my sources, Bahrain, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates are expressing sharp criticism of U.S. policy behind closed doors.
• They believe Washington is neglecting its Gulf allies, ignoring their concerns and failing to respect their security interests.
• According to my sources, these states oppose the emerging agreement with Iran and warn that the United States is creating a “monster” that will eventually become impossible to control.
• They fear that, in the end, the Gulf states themselves will pay the price, and some are even concerned that Iran could one day seek to dominate or directly threaten them.
I think their concerns are valid. However, maybe if the Gulf States had not been in bed with Iran for all these years through backdoor financing and sales of sanctioned military hardware, Iran wouldn't be such a threat to become a monster in the region. The UAE was targeted by drone technology they provided to the IRGC before the war. The Gulf States bear some of the blame on the Islamic Republic of Iran's ability to rise into a regional bully.

Sounds like they should be getting ready to do something about their neighbor. Hell, they should have been getting ready.
