Revolutionary Guards: US Positions in UAE are 'Legitimate Targets' After Island Strike – 'Bloodshed if US Targets Khamenei'

Iran's Revolutionary Guards announced that US positions in the United Arab Emirates are “legitimate targets” after the US bombing of Kharg Island. They warned they would respond to any attack on Mojtaba Khamenei, Iran’s new supreme leader, threatening “bloodshed”. They also called on UAE residents to evacuate areas with a US military presence. The US, for its part, warned it would protect safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz and that oil facilities in the region could become targets if Iran continues to obstruct them. Iran assured that oil exports from Kharg Island continue normally.
