Main Iranian oil hub attacked by US, Smoke seen in UAE Fujairah port

So the war between the U.S.-Israel and Iran is entering its third week and all sides

have promised to keep the fight going.

More than 2,000 people have been killed.

The United States has struck Hark Island in the Gulf.

Now it's Iran's main hub for exporting oil.

It's located off Iran's southwest coast.

It's nearly 500 kilometers from the state of Hormuz.

It's known as the Crown Jewel or the Beating Heart of Iran's oil industry.

It handles around 90 percent of crude exports.

There's also been a fighter for Jaira Port in the United Arab Emirates, UAE officials.

Say it started after debris fell from an intercepted drone.

Jaira is a strategically important oil transfer hub since the Gulf of Iran.

And it bypasses the state of Hormuz, which has been effectively closed by Iran.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Embassy compounding Baghdad's been hit by a missile attack

for a second time in a week.

The embassy is located at the capital's fortified green zone.

Smokes have been seen rising from the area.

There have been sounds of gunfire heard around the side.

Iran's joint military is responded to Donald Trump's threats

on Hark Island, saying that they will retaliate.

In response to the statements of the aggressor and terrorist president of the United States,

we declare that in the event of an attack on the oil, economic, and energy infrastructure

of the Islamic Republic of Iran, as we have previously warned,

all the oil, economic, and energy infrastructures belonging to oil companies

throughout the region that have American shares or cooperate with the United States

will be destroyed and turned into a heap of ashes.

Well, after that message from the Iranian military,

Smokes being seen rising from Jaira Port in the United Arab Emirates, UAE officials.

Say, a fire started after debris fell from an intercepted drone.

Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps says UAE ports, docs, and military sites

are legitimate targets due to the attack on Hark Island.
