"Missile and drone attacks on the Emirates and Kuwait have taken place a few hours after the targeting of Lavan island oil facilities in Iran," IRIB said in a report.
State TV also quoted the National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company as saying the Lavan Oil Refinery facility on the island "was subjected to a cowardly attack" at 10 am (0630 GMT).
Kuwait on Wednesday reported Iranian attacks that have been ongoing from 8 am local time and damaged power and desalination plants as well as oil facilities, hours after an Iran-US truce came into effect.
"Since 8:00 AM (0500 GMT) today, Kuwaiti air defences have been engaging an intense wave of hostile Iranian attacks, dealing with 28 drones targeting the State of Kuwait," Kuwait's military said in a statement on X.
It said it "intercepted a large number of these hostile drones" but that the attacks caused "significant material damage to oil facilities, power plants and water desalination plants".
The United Arab Emirates said Wednesday afternoon its air defenses fired at an incoming Iranian missile barrage.
Earlier, authorities in Abu Dhabi said that falling debris following an interception had injured three people and forced a halt in production following fires at a gas complex in the emirate.
The government's media office said in a statement the incident at Habshan gas-processing facility "was caused by falling debris, following a successful interception by air defence systems, resulting in multiple fires and minor injuries to two Emiratis and one Indian national".
