Terrified Dubai tourists 'forced to escape to makeshift shelters' as Iran hits UAE

Dubai was plunged into lockdown overnight after Iranian missiles and drones targeted the emirate in retaliation for a joint US-Israeli assault that killed Iran’s supreme leader. Air defence systems intercepted waves of projectiles late on February 28, but debris injured civilians and damaged key infrastructure in what authorities described as a direct response to Western strikes on Tehran hours earlier.

Footage shared online showed guests at luxury hotels on Palm Jumeirah and in Downtown Dubai being moved into underground car parks and windowless basements as sirens sounded across the city. Thousands of tourists spent the night sheltering on concrete floors while explosions were heard overhead. Dubai authorities said two people were injured when debris from intercepted drones fell into residential courtyards. In Abu Dhabi, shrapnel from a downed drone lightly wounded a woman and her child.

Mattswaggz:
So Dubai also has a US military base actively being used in this war?....if not what warrants this attacks?.

Yes they do.

Iran struck 8 countries in the Middle East all armed with the best US air defense systems and still hit them hard.

Iran hit Israel even harder. US air defense systems were no where to be found.

Mattswaggz:
Weren't the gulf countries initially saying they wouldn't let US launch any attack from their base which they host?.......so low key they were after the downfall of Ayatolla then or why the sudden change in mind.

Jakarta:
Your leader, his family and military chiefs were killed like common rats. And you are throwing missiles carelessly, don't they know the road to the US white house, US defence minister, or Benjamin Netanyahu residence? Small yansh dey shake.

Think.

Let's say Iran has ICBMS and they fire it, don't you know that they would have to pass through these countries airspace to get to the US?

And they're most like to be shot down by US air defense systems installed in these countries.

That is why Iran is taking them out first.

Common sense.

Imagine if your opponents were shooting missiles aimlessly and carelessly, Na free Iran, Isreal kills unborn babies in delivery rooms slogans we for dey hear by now.

The Iranian government has been dancing and romancing with china for some time now and has become a source of energy supply to them.

America thinks it is time to put a stop to it just like they did in Venezuela.
