"Moments ago, at my direction, the United States Central Command executed one of the most powerful bombing raids in the History of the Middle East, and totally obliterated every MILITARY target in Iran's crown jewel, Kharg Island, Trump wrote on Truth Social."
"Ebrahim Zolfaghari, spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, made the original threat against UAE cities after the Kharg attack, saying they will target all oil, economic, and energy infrastructures belonging to oil companies across the region that have American shares or cooperate with America."
"The Port of Fujairah sits near the Strait of Hormuz where Iran has targeted cargo ships and tied up oil shipments. The emirate's media office said on Saturday that the fire at the port was caused by an Iranian drone being intercepted. Approximately one million barrels of oil go through the port every day."
Escalating tensions between Iran, the U.S., and Israel intensified when President Trump announced strikes on Kharg Island, Iran's primary oil export hub, claiming all military targets were destroyed. Iran responded by threatening UAE ports and infrastructure, specifically targeting facilities with American involvement. Shortly after these threats, a fire broke out at Fujairah port near the Strait of Hormuz, reportedly caused by an intercepted Iranian drone. The port handles approximately one million barrels of oil daily. UAE authorities reported no injuries. Iranian officials vowed to target oil and energy infrastructure across the region cooperating with America. The U.S. is simultaneously deploying additional warships and troops to the Middle East.
