In a statement on Saturday, the military spokesperson said the American invading forces have launched missile attacks on the Iranian island of Abu Musa and part of Khark Island after taking refuge in the UAE’s ports and docks, as well as hiding places within Emirati cities, due to the destruction of the US military bases in the region.

He conveyed a message to the leaders of the UAE, asserting that the Islamic Republic of Iran views it as its “legitimate right” to defend its national sovereignty and territory by striking the missile launch sites of American enemies located in shipping ports, docks, and the hiding places of American military personnel within several UAE cities.

Additionally, the spokesperson appealed to the Muslim population of the UAE and its residential centers to evacuate the ports, docks, and American hideouts in order to prevent potential harm to them.

The US and the Zionist regime launched a large-scale unprovoked military campaign against Iran following the assassination of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, along with several senior military commanders and civilians on February 28.

The attacks have involved extensive aerial strikes on both military and civilian locations across Iran, causing significant casualties and widespread damage to infrastructure.

In response, the Iranian Armed Forces have carried out retaliatory operations, targeting American and Israeli positions in the occupied territories and at regional bases with waves of missiles and drones.
