@BBCBreaking Gas prices soaring because Qatar got hit? Fair question: why should that affect the UK at all? We import their gas, sure, but why are we so exposed that one foreign strike sends our heating costs through the roof? Anyone else wondering?

@EmmanuelMacron Naaaaaaah! We keep blowing shit up till world war 3 starts.

I have just spoken with the Emir of Qatar and President Trump following the strikes that hit gas production facilities in Iran and Qatar today.
It is in our common interest to implement, without delay, a moratorium on strikes targeting civilian infrastructure, particularly energy and water supply facilities. Civilian populations and their essential needs, as well as the security of energy supplies, must be protected from military escalation.

@shanaka86 Are you sure Iran was actually trying to hit the Dubai? You dumb fucks donโt even understand what war is.
English

Dubai intercepted 96 percent of what Iran launched last night. Then it arrested people for filming the 4 percent that got through.
The UAEโs air defense network is extraordinary. Patriot PAC-3 for short and medium range. THAAD at Mach 8 for high-altitude ballistic intercepts. Barak-8 for naval and land threats. AI-powered target classification sorting fibre-optic drones from ballistic warheads in milliseconds and assigning the correct interceptor tier before a human operator could identify the track. Since February 28, UAE systems have engaged 314 ballistic missiles and 1,672 drones. The interception rate across the campaign runs between 90 and 96 percent. That is world-class. That is lives saved. That is technology performing under conditions no peacetime simulation could replicate.
And then the UAE arrested a 60-year-old British tourist for filming a missile strike and sending the video to his family. He deleted it. They charged him anyway. At least 21 foreigners have been charged under cybercrime laws for possessing, posting, or privately sharing photos and videos of the attacks. Survivors who sent proof-of-life images to their families have been detained. The minimum penalty: two years in prison, fines up to $54,000, and deportation.
A country that intercepts 96 percent of incoming warheads is now telling the world that the 4 percent it cannot stop is too dangerous to photograph. The message to every tourist, every expat, every international investor considering Dubai is not โwe are safe.โ It is โwe are safe, and if you document any evidence to the contrary, we will put you in prison.โ
That message is doing more damage to Dubaiโs brand than the missiles.
The same week, Reuters reported that the UAE is one of six Gulf states actively pressing Washington not to stop short but to fully neutralise Iranโs military capability. Abdulaziz Sager of the Gulf Research Center confirmed: Iran crossed every red line. The UAE wants the war to end with Iran permanently unable to threaten the strait. That pressure is understandable. Dubai has been struck repeatedly. Fuel tanks at the airport ignited. Flights suspended. Fertiglobe, one of the worldโs largest nitrogen producers at 6.6 million tonnes annual capacity, sits on soil that is under persistent bombardment.
But here is the strategic irony the UAE has not processed.
Every missile that hits Dubai accelerates capital flight. Every arrest of a tourist accelerates it further. And the capital is not fleeing to London or Singapore. It is flowing to the country next door whose giga-projects have not been struck, whose airports have not closed, whose tourists have not been arrested, and whose $1.3 trillion Vision 2030 infrastructure is being built on a timeline that extends well beyond this war.
Saudi Arabia signed a Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement with Pakistan in September 2025 that created a military depth Iran respected. Riyadh has absorbed far less direct targeting. NEOM, the Red Sea project, Diriyah Gate, the 2034 World Cup: all untouched. All funded. All under construction.
Dubai intercepts the missiles. Dubai arrests the witnesses. Dubai demands the war escalate. And Saudi Arabia collects the capital, the perception of safety, and the long-term positioning that Dubai is burning through with every barrage and every prosecution.
The air defenses work. The arrests do not. And the fertiliser trapped behind the permissioned strait at $683 per ton does not care about either.

Latest from Dubai Airport yesterday... footage shows crowds moving through terminals, people at gates, shops open, flights going out. Not the usual peak madness, but definitely not a ghost town. Itโs calmer than before, which honestly feels kind of nice... the airport is still running strong and ready for when things pick up again.

I have just spoken with Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian.
I called on him to put an immediate end to the unacceptable attacks Iran is carrying out against countries in the region, whether directly or through proxies, including in Lebanon and Iraq. I reminded him that France is acting within a strictly defensive framework aimed at protecting its interests, its regional partners, and freedom of navigation, and that it is unacceptable for our country to be targeted.
The unchecked escalation we are witnessing is plunging the entire region into chaos, with major consequences today and for the years to come. The people of Iran, like those across the region, are paying the price.
Only a new political and security framework can ensure peace and security for all. Such a framework must guarantee that Iran never acquires nuclear weapons, while also addressing the threats posed by its ballistic missile programme and its destabilising activities regionally and internationally.
Freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz must be restored as soon as possible.
I also urged the Iranian President to allow Cรฉcile Kohler and Jacques Paris to return safely to France as soon as possible. Their ordeal has gone on for far too long, and they belong with their loved ones.
