A wave of Iranian missile and drone strikes have targeted Gulf countries, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain, leading to significant disruptions and escalating conflict in the region. Iran reportedly fired 16 ballistic missiles and 117 drones, with interceptions by Gulf nations happening in real-time. Explosions were heard in various cities, including Dubai, where the airport briefly closed and a drone strike occurred near the terminal. The Iranian government has vowed to continue its assaults despite international outcry and criticism. Civilians in the region have been caught in the crossfire, prompting many to seek safety, while others have faced canceled flights and hotel surcharges due to the ongoing chaos. The situation remains tense as casualties rise, with the UAE reporting four dead and numerous injuries from recent attacks.
