"Iran has responded to the joint US-Israeli offensive, which is entering its third week, with daily attacks on oil and other infrastructure around the Gulf region, as well as against Israel. Both continued on Saturday with salvoes fired by Iran at Israel and a barrage of ballistic missiles directed at the United Arab Emirates."
"Speaking to NBC News on Saturday night, Trump said US strikes had totally demolished most of the island but we may hit it a few more times just for fun. He added that he wasn't ready to make a deal with Iran because the terms aren't good enough yet."
"An Iranian military spokesperson called on people in the UAE to evacuate ports, docks and American hideouts, saying US forces had targeted Iranian islands from those areas. Anwar Gargash, the diplomatic adviser to the president of the UAE, said on Saturday night that the country had a right to defend itself in the face of terrorist aggression."
Iran has escalated threats to target any Middle Eastern facility with US connections following Trump's announcement of international naval support to forcibly reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The region faces intensifying military conflict as US and Israeli forces conduct sustained offensive operations now in their third week. Iran responds with daily attacks on Gulf infrastructure and Israel, including ballistic missile strikes on the UAE. Oil operations have suspended in Fujairah, a critical refueling hub, following Iranian missile barrages. US forces bombed Iran's primary oil export facility, Kharg Island, with Trump stating additional strikes may follow. Israeli warplanes conducted dozens of raids, causing civilian casualties. The UAE maintains defensive posture while seeking diplomatic resolution, though regional tensions continue escalating with no immediate peace prospects.
