Iran's state television published a threat Wednesday saying that the Islamic Republic would attack oil and gas infrastructure in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in the next few hours.

It threatened Saudi Arabia's Samref Refinery and its Jubail Petrochemical Complex, as well as the UAE's Al Hasan Gas Field, and the petrochemical plants and a refinery in Qatar. It warned all employees and residents in the areas to evacuate immediately.

The threat – which resembled other attack warnings put out by Iran during the war, copying the style used by the Israeli military – comes after Iran said its South Pars gas field and associated infrastructure was attacked earlier Wednesday. Firefighters on-site worked to contain the blaze, and there was no immediate report on if anyone had been hurt.

The attack on South Pars field involved Phases 3, 4, 5 and 6, Iranian state TV reported. They blamed Israel and the U.S. for the attack. It said it had shut down those phases of the field to stop the spreading fire.

The spokesman for Qatar's foreign ministry lambasted Israel for apparently targeting an Iranian oil field on Wednesday as "dangerous and irresponsible" and a "threat to global energy security, as well as to the peoples of the region & its environment."

Israeli "targeting of facilities linked to Iran's South Pars field, an extension of Qatar's North Field, is a dangerous & irresponsible step amid the current military escalation in the region," said Majed al-Ansari, who is also a senior advisor to Qatar's leader and a longtime prominent figure in the Gulf state's government.

"We reiterate, as we have repeatedly emphasized, the necessity of avoiding the targeting of vital facilities," al Ansari said in a statement posted in both English and Arabic on social media. "We call on all parties to exercise restraint, adhere to international law, & work toward de-escalation in a manner that preserves the security & stability of the region."
