Iran's armed forces urged residents and workers to leave areas around Jebel Ali, Khalifa and Fujairah ports, saying without evidence that the US had used UAE "ports, docks and hideouts" to strike Kharg Island, and for the first time threatened non-US assets in the UAE, AP reported. No attack on Jebel Ali or Khalifa was reported in the following hours. UAE presidential adviser Anwar Gargash said the UAE was exercising restraint while keeping its right to self-defence.
