Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued on Wednesday an evacuation notice for several oil facilities in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Qatar.
The IRGC listed Samref Refinery and Jubail Petrochemical Complex in Saudi Arabia, Messieed Petrochemical Complex and Messieed Holding Company, together with Ras Laffan Refinery in Qatar, as well as Al-Hosn Gas Field in the UAE, declaring that energy sites now qualify as legitimate targets.
“Therefore, all citizens, residents, and employees are asked to leave these areas immediately and move to a safe distance without any delay,” it was stated in the notice after Iran’s media reported that natural gas and oil facilities at South Pars were targeted.
