U.S.–Iran War and Energy Infrastructure

Iran’s foreign minister reiterated Tehran’s claim that U.S. strikes on Kharg and Abu Musa were launched from two locations in the UAE—Ras al‑Khaimah and an area near Dubai—while U.S. Central Command said its strikes destroyed naval mine and missile storage facilities but would not comment on the allegation of UAE‑based launches. The assertion came as Iran urged evacuations around Jebel Ali, Khalifa and Fujairah ports and its military threatened U.S.-linked energy targets, and as the UAE, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia reported new attacks—UAE authorities reported a missile strike, Bahrain sounded incoming‑attack sirens, and Saudi air defenses said they intercepted 10 drones—prompting regional officials to criticize Tehran’s accusations.
