The Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued evacuation orders for five energy facilities in the Gulf.
The IRGC-affiliated news agency Tasnim posted on Telegram an "urgent warning" for citizens and residents near to:
The Samref refinery in Saudi Arabia, the al-Jubail petrochemical complex and Masaiid Holding Company in Saudi Arabia,
the al-Hosn gas field in the United Arab Emirates and the Ras Laffan refinery in Qatar
The statement says: "These centres have become direct and legitimate targets and will be targeted in the coming hours. "Therefore, all citizens, residents, and employees are asked to immediately leave these areas and move to a safe distance without any delay."
Hang on to your hats.
