Iran warns UAE to evacuate Dubai, Abu Dhabi airports and Jebel Ali port; adviser says strikes could turn 'offensive and destructive' if US attacks continue.
Iran warned the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday that major airports and ports should be evacuated if the United States launches further strikes on Iranian civilian infrastructure. The warning, carried by Iranian state media, named Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport, Fujairah Port and Jebel Ali Port.
Military adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader, Mohsen Rezaei, said that if U.S. attacks continue, Iran would shift from retaliatory strikes to an "offensive and destructive" phase, potentially including ground forces, according to the same media reports.
UAE authorities and the United States have not officially responded. The warning comes as military exchanges between Washington and Tehran escalate, raising the risk of disruption to Gulf shipping lanes and air travel.
