Iran issued a public warning to civilians in Kuwait, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates, calling on them to move away from U.S. military bases and installations in their countries. In a statement, Iran said residents should evacuate areas near any missile systems or launch platforms and keep their distance from American military sites, claiming that some residential areas in the three states were being used to launch surface-to-surface missiles toward Iran. Iran said it had previously warned the governments of the three states against what it called dependency on the United States and asserted that those governments "bear full responsibility for all the consequences that will result from this path." BNN was not able to independently verify Iran's claim that residential areas are being used to launch missiles, and authorities in Kuwait, Bahrain, and the UAE have not commented. No evacuation instructions have been issued by the national authorities of any of the three countries.

Frustration is growing among Gulf states over Iran's attacks across the region over the past 24 hours, Israel's Kan public broadcaster reported, citing anger that the strikes extended even to Oman, which hours earlier had hosted Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi for talks on compromise proposals over the Strait of Hormuz. Kan said a campaign in the Iranian press had named the leaders of Bahrain, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates alongside Israeli and American leaders as potential assassination targets, further eroding trust in Tehran. Gulf governments nonetheless continue to publicly favor de-escalation and a diplomatic track, according to the report. In the United Arab Emirates, which was not among the countries struck in today's Iranian attacks, some are calling for a harder line toward Tehran. "We have no trust in the Iranians. The Revolutionary Guard has kidnapped Iran from its people," former Emirati parliamentarian Drar Balhoul told Kan News. "They only understand the language of force and possess a kind of sadism. It is not enough to attack once or twice, it is necessary to teach the Iranians a hard lesson, so they understand the message well."
