Iranian Navy Launches Strikes on US Forces in Abu Dhabi and Bahrain

Iranian naval forces have launched multiple attacks targeting US military installations in the Middle East, specifically in Abu Dhabi's al-Dhafra Air Base and Bahrain's Sheikh Isa Air Base. Admiral Alireza Tangsiri, the navy chief of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), stated that the assaults aimed at Patriot radar systems, aircraft, and fuel storage facilities.

In response to these developments, the IRGC issued a warning to residents in the United Arab Emirates, advising them to evacuate areas housing US military assets to avoid potential civilian casualties. The statement emphasized that US-linked facilities in the UAE are considered legitimate targets following US strikes on Iranian territories.

The conflict has also impacted civilian infrastructure. In Fujairah, UAE, debris from an intercepted drone caused a fire, leading to the suspension of some oil loading operations. Authorities reported no injuries and are working to contain the incident.

The escalation follows a series of retaliatory actions between the US, Israel, and Iran, with significant military engagements and threats affecting multiple countries in the region. The situation remains fluid, with international calls for de-escalation and diplomatic resolutions.
