DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — The United Arab Emirates early Thursday denounced Iran’s attacks targeting its Habshan gas facility and Bab field as a “dangerous escalation” as Israel and the United States escalate their war on the Islamic Republic.

Authorities in Abu Dhabi say the gas operations had been shut down after interceptions over the sites.

Iran also had attacked gas facilities in Qatar after Israel launched an attack against Iran’s South Pars offshore natural gas field in the Persian Gulf that it shares with Doha.
