By attacking the UAE port that’s not behind their blockade, Iran is signaling that regional oil production are going to be it’s primary targets should hostilities resume. They have missiles and drones left and refineries, ports, and pipelines are hard to move out of the way. They also, with the help of their allies, they could bottle up the Bab-el-Mandeb (straight between Somalia and Yemen).

Didn’t the UAE just leave OPEC too? Wonder if that opened them up further to being targeted.
