Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Wednesday warned of imminent strikes targeting major oil and gas facilities in Gulf countries, urging civilians and workers to evacuate areas near critical energy infrastructure.

The IRGC issued an “urgent warning” to citizens and residents near several facilities in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar, The Caspian Post reports, citing Anadolu Agency.

The statement listed multiple sites it described as “direct and legitimate targets,” including the SAMREF refinery and Jubail petrochemical complex in Saudi Arabia, the Al Hosn gas field in the UAE, and the Mesaieed petrochemical complex and Ras Laffan refinery in Qatar.

The IRGC called on civilians, residents, and employees to immediately leave these areas and move to a safe distance without delay, warning that the sites could be targeted “within the coming hours.”

It said that repeated warnings had previously been issued to Gulf governments, accusing them of pursuing what it described as a “dangerous path.”

The warnings come after Iranian media reported a US-Israeli airstrike on gas storage tanks at Iran’s South Pars field in the southern city of Asaluyeh on Wednesday, halting production at two refineries with a combined capacity of about 100 million cubic meters per day.
