The Iranian military issued evacuation warnings to residents of the United Arab Emirates in the port areas of Jebel Ali, Khalifa and Fujairah. The statement said 'these areas have become legitimate targets due to the presence and concealment of American military forces among civilian facilities. They will be targets of attack in the coming hours. All civilians, port workers and people in the vicinity of these facilities are requested to leave as soon as possible for the sake of their lives.'
