Iran announced preparations for strikes on targets in the UAE and called for evacuation.

Iran has announced preparations for strikes on three ports of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in response to the attack on the island of Kharq, which is under Iranian control. This was announced on March 14 by Tasnim news agency in its Telegram channel.

"An urgent warning for the UAE population. Residents and those located in the areas of the UAE indicated on the map are notified of the need to immediately leave the territories around the ports of Fujairah, Khalifa and Jebel Ali," the message says.

It is indicated that these ports have become legitimate targets due to the presence of the US military stationed among civilian facilities. Iran noted that attacks on these facilities are possible in the coming hours.
