Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has threatened to attack multiple UAE cities in retaliation for the US's attack on Kharg Island. The IRGC claims that the U.S. launched its attack from ports, docks, and hideouts within UAE cities. However, it did not specify which cities would be targeted. President Trump responded by saying the U., along with other allies, Iran, has no ability to defend anything Washington wishes to attack. The threat came one day after Iran's supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, ordered the Strait of Hormuz remain closed, leading to a surge in gas and oil prices.
