A senior security official in the Iranian Armed Forces has issued a stark warning to the United Arab Emirates, stating that major airports and maritime ports must be evacuated immediately if the United States launches attacks against Iran’s infrastructure.

Axar.az reports, citing West Asia News Agency, that the informed military official cautioned against the severe consequences of any potential U.S. military action targeting Iran.

“If the United States attacks the country’s civilian infrastructure tonight, the Dubai and Abu Dhabi airports, as well as the ports of Fujairah and Jebel Ali, must be evacuated immediately to preserve the lives of citizens from Iran’s retaliatory strikes,” the official stated.

The warning underscores a sharp escalation in regional tensions, explicitly naming critical commercial and transit hubs in the UAE as immediate targets for retaliation should a U.S. strike occur.
