The Iranian army declared that the ports in the United Arab Emirates are legitimate targets, urging the population to evacuate following a massive fire that broke out in the emirate of Fujairah.

On Saturday, the Iranian army warned that the ports and docks in the United Arab Emirates are considered legitimate targets, urging the population to evacuate. The warning came in the context of a massive fire that broke out in the port of Fujairah, an important refueling center, after debris fell following the interception of a drone. Although no casualties were reported, local authorities suspended some oil loading operations.

Tehran emphasized that it reserves the right to defend its national sovereignty, particularly targeting American forces in the area. Civil defense forces have been mobilized to extinguish the fire, but information about the impact on port operations remains limited. Images posted online suggest the scale of the incident.
