Iran warns it will target origins of US missile launches in UAE cities

The spokesperson for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters has announced that the country considers it a legitimate right to target the origins of US missile launches located in several Emirati cities.

Ebrahim Zolfaghari said on Saturday that the US military, after suffering losses and destruction of its regional bases, began launching missiles from ports, docks, and hideouts within cities in the United Arab Emirates against Iran’s Abu Musa Island and parts of Kharg Island.

“We warn the UAE leadership that the Islamic Republic of Iran views it as its legitimate right to strike the origins of American missile launches—those concealed in ports, docks, and shelters used by US forces under the cover of Emirati cities—in defense of its national sovereignty and territorial integrity,” Zolfaghari said.

He further urged the residents of the UAE to evacuate areas near ports, docks, and known American hideouts in their cities in order to avoid harm during Iran’s retaliatory strikes.

On February 28, the United States and the Israeli regime launched an unprovoked military assault on Iran, assassinating the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, and several top commanders.

Iran began to swiftly retaliate against the criminal aggression by launching barrages of missile and drone attacks on the Israeli-occupied territories as well as on the US bases in regional countries.
