History, politics, free speech. Shaken not stirred.


NEW: The UAE has imposed an immediate ban on entry and transit for all Iranian passport holders. This includes those with valid UAE residency (including Golden Visas), tourist visas, and even connecting flights through Dubai. Airlines are already enforcing the restriction.


Everyone thinks Dubai is the escape. No taxes. No regulations. Freedom. This week, the UAE decided no more Iranians. Lived there your whole life? Doesn't matter. Healthcare worker? Don't care. You didn't escape to freedom. You escaped to someone else's thumb on your fate. At least in the West, they have to tell you why.


Every picture of Emirati leaders "showing resilience" is just them at the mall.




i can’t believe people prefer going to Dubai than places like this 😭






Dubai is like the dazzling partner some people enjoy being seen with, but know deep down they would never marry. Style without substance. Attraction without culture. All the confidence but none of the charisma. A place associated with glitz and glamour, not class and intellect. ✍️ Atbin Moayedi Article | spectator.com/article/dubai-…
