Salaries will be frozen.
International payments will be paused.

@MDXreal @collins_start Aside from the tax, please outline how it is so amazing to do business… it’s very expensive to run a company …
English

@collins_start 0 tax and extremely good country for business, had to move my company to Dubai, no one can compete. how long u been in Dubai

British Airways and Air France have suspended their flights to Dubai again.
The situation is getting worse.
The Strait of Hormuz is shut down.
Iran has told all UAE ships they must pay a security and service fee.
Or they get zero clearance.
Yesterday, IRGC gunboats opened fire on their ships.
More than 21 ships had to turn around.
UAE leaders most likely won't pay the fee.
And if they don't, Iran will continue to block their ships.
And this will destroy tourism even harder.
Dubai's economy is already collapsing.
Massive shortages could be imminent.
Oil. Food. Diesel.
Everything could get affected.
Multiple airlines are already starting to cancel flights to Dubai again.
English

One more disaster developing in Dubai.
Dubai is running out of jet fuel.
Flights are already starting to get suspended again.
Because,
Tankers are too scared to go anywhere near the Strait of Hormuz.
The whole choke point has become a war zone mess.
This is going to destroy tourism even harder.
Tourism has already been collapsing for some time.
Burj Al Arab is closing for 18 months today.
Next week, Anantara World Islands in Dubai will shut down.
In May, Park Hyatt is closing.
Now it's only commercial flights getting cancelled.
But,
If this war continues, cargo flights are next.
That's when Dubai could break.
Food will stop coming in.
No medical supplies. No electronics. Nothing.
Dubai imports almost everything.
Massive shortages could be imminent.
English

The Middle East will not forget how Starmer’s Britain and the EU stood by the Islamic regime in Iran in action, while offering us empty statements as we faced terrorism. 2026 will be remembered as the year of cowardly leadership in Britain and the EU, doing everything to preserve the regime while standing against civilization that fought backwardness. They had issues with Trump and made the Iranian people pay for it.
No matter how you frame it, TRUST is GONE. No one will trust the EU or Britain under any circumstances unless you show action, not X posts.
English

Dubai is collapsing.
Things are worse than they were before the ceasefire.
UAE leaders are still pressuring America for a ground invasion of Iran.
They believe the only solution is a total regime change.
Their deputy prime minister says anything less than that is a threat to the world.
America deployed another 4400 soldiers to Dubai yesterday.
If the second round of talks doesn't go well, we could see things escalate.
450 hotels shut down in Dubai last week.
The cash flow has dried up.
Tomorrow their most iconic hotel Burj Al Arab is closing for 18 months.
Tourism is struggling.
If this collapse keeps going at this rate, the UAE will most likely abandon their zero tax economic model.
This is Dubai's worst phase ever.

@chinnusrm @Rus_Khairullin @eAndUAE Not true it was slower than usual when cables were cut… compared to global prices it is also very expensive and is a monopoly of two terrible companies, etisalat and Du
English

@Rus_Khairullin Utter BS. Been using @eAndUAE for ages and never faced issues. You can promote starlink all you want and make money out of it but dont have to diss other providers for the same. Even when red sea cables were cut , bandwidth was at a comfortable speeds.
English

I live in Dubai and decided to switch to Starlink instead of local providers and here's why:
A few years ago the internet in Dubai started working much worse than ever before, I don't know what happened but I was tired of the slow internet. I thought maybe I had a weak tariff. I went to Etisalad and connected the most powerful internet and now it's been 7 months, but my agony has not stopped. First of all, they installed some kind of home phone, why? I didn't ask for it, but I got it with my maximum tariff! Secondly, the Internet often disconnects itself, about 3 times a week, and thirdly, now I can not give up this Internet because I was put on a contract!
I need uninterrupted and the fastest possible internet for my work! That's a base minimum of 2026. Hopefully I won't have any problems with Starlink.
I know some people from the government are subscribed to me, and I would like to point out that this is not a hatred towards the internet in Dubai, this is constructive criticism, this is a full-fledged review! People need to be given freedom, not confined.
I will never use the services of Etisalat (Du) again

@Tradewith_kd Global Illuminati at work to prolong the crisis , it’s all planned…
English

For the Trump administration to understand: The Strait of Hormuz is NOT OPEN. The UAE does not and will NEVER accept the Islamic regime in Iran imposing CONDITIONS on access. The UAE is not Britain or the EU. It does not accept any terrorist actor restricting freedom of navigation. As for Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia negotiating to keep the regime afloat, understand this: no state has a legitimate right to decide who may pass and under what terms. That is international law, not a bargaining chip.
Shame on United Kingdom, NATO, European Union, and anyone who tolerates this regime’s terrorism and piracy.

@exitIiquidity @AsennaWealth Bs…. You need $300 as a bare minimum to go out for a meal. Not more affordable than many main Europeans cities, what are you smoking
English

@AsennaWealth So you’re a retarded person then?
Dubai has always been more affordable than any major European or American city. Eating out, hotels, touristy shit - all cheaper than London, Paris, NYC or LA
English

Before COVID, Dubai was a tourist-friendly destination and reasonably priced. Post-COVID, tourists increased dramatically and prices sky rocketed 3-4x. Whatever you did it always felt like you were being fleeced. Now with geo-political risk, the tourists have disappeared, restaurants are struggling at 20-30% capacity, bars, clubs and cafes offering upto 50% off on some bills. Beautiful to watch karma in action and the hospitality industry has zero sympathy from me.
English

@AhmedSharif Incorrect, citizenship is never granted no matter how long you live there
English

UAE stands with the United States. Firm. Strong. (He won't but) If Trump calls for a ceasefire with Iran, it will be REJECTED. NOBODY ACCEPTS a CEASEFIRE with a TERRORIST REGIME. Not now. Not AGAIN. Take everyone with you. Finish the job. Speak PERSIAN for once, that’s what the regime understands. Make it a Holy Saturday. Make it a Hell Sunday. Destroy the terrorists. No negotiations. No compromises.
Be like the UAE. Zero tolerance. Elimination only.
