"Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) had said earlier that it had targeted radar systems in locations including Al-Kharj governorate, which is home to the Prince Sultan airbase used by United States forces, and has come under repeated attack over the past week in the US and Israeli war against Iran."
"This is getting very volatile and dangerous for people across the Gulf. It's really important to emphasise that over 200 nationalities live and work across the Gulf nations. Many of these could be labourers."
"A spokesperson for the IRGC said Iran would retaliate if US-Israel attacks on its energy infrastructure did not let up. If you can tolerate oil at more than $200 per barrel, continue this game."
Iranian attacks on Gulf nations hosting US military installations have intensified, with projectiles striking residential areas in Saudi Arabia's Al-Kharj city, killing two foreign nationals and injuring twelve others. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targeted radar systems and military installations across the region. Saudi Arabia intercepted fifteen drones, while Kuwait reported attacks on airport fuel tanks and Bahrain suffered damage to a water desalination plant. These escalations followed Israeli airstrikes on Iranian oil facilities near Tehran. The IRGC threatened further retaliation if attacks on Iran's energy infrastructure continued, warning of potential oil price increases exceeding $200 per barrel. Over 200 nationalities work across Gulf nations, with many laborers vulnerable to ongoing violence.
