Iran hits UAE oil hub, vows retaliation for US strike on Kharg Island

Oh goody, gas is going up again.


Iran warned it could target US "hideouts" in the United Arab Emirates after a drone attack disrupted a major Emirati energy hub on Saturday, as the war entered its third week.

US forces on Friday struck Kharg Island, from which nearly all of Iran's oil is exported.
