🇮🇷🇦🇪| Footage shows the fire at the Fujairah Oil Industry Zone, in the UAE, after it was struck by Iranian drones.

Breif Speculation

This facility was supposedly made to bypass the Strait of Hormuz. So I'm not entirely sure if this was targeted by Iran or. If the Imperialists did this specific attack for the sake of solidifying their blockade on the rest of the world.

I think we should wait and see what Iran has to say about this site in particular.

Edit: ~~The skepticism was rewarded.~~

Edit2: I'm dumb, I misread the IRIB report. Iran is saying that that they didn't plan on hitting it before, but since the US tried to use the port to transport the oil to bypass the straight of Hormuz, they struck it.

~~I was right to be skeptical~~

🇮🇷 BREAKING: Iran denies striking Fujairah oil facilities, blames U.S. "military adventurism" for the fire.

A knowledgeable Iranian military official told IRIB:

"The Islamic Republic had no premeditated plan to attack the mentioned oil facilities. What happened was the result of the U.S. military's adventurism to create a passage for illegal ship transit through the forbidden routes of the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. military must be held accountable for it.

U.S. statesmen must end the ugly behavior of using force in diplomacy and cease military adventurism in this sensitive oil region that affects the economies of all countries worldwide."

I think they are misreading Iran's words:

The Islamic Republic had no premeditated plan to attack the mentioned oil facilities.

Which I assume means they didn't plan to attack it until the Imperialists:

to create a passage for illegal ship transit through the forbidden routes of the Strait of Hormuz.
