A 'knowledgeable' military source quoted by the Iranian FARS news agency warned that if the United States strikes infrastructure in Iran tonight, the airports of Dubai and Abu Dhabi, as well as the ports of Fujairah and Jebel Ali, must be evacuated immediately. The threat expands on an earlier warning from an IRGC source that focused on airports alone.
The new threat, reported by FARS at 20:06 Jerusalem, adds a maritime dimension to the earlier warning. At 18:34, The Zioneer reported an IRGC source warning to evacuate Dubai and Abu Dhabi airports if the US strikes. The inclusion of the Port of Fujairah and Jebel Ali Port — both major commercial hubs on the UAE's eastern and western coasts respectively — signals an expanded Iranian threat perception. The warning comes amid continued US-Iran tensions following the US strike on Chabahar. The 'knowledgeable' military source, quoted by the IRGC-affiliated FARS, did not specify whether the evacuation order is an official directive or a forecast. The threat remains at the level of a single-source report, with no confirmation from UAE authorities or the US military.
