On Tuesday, the United Arab Emirates briefly closed and then reopened its airspace, temporarily suspending flights to a major tourist hub after the country’s military said it was facing attacks from Iran.

This swift announcement underscores the balancing act faced by UAE authorities as Iran continues to launch attacks, while they strive to maintain operations at their long-haul carriers, Emirates and Etihad. On Monday, an Iranian drone struck a fuel tank at Dubai International Airport, the world’s busiest international airport.

A day ago, the United States and Israel struck military targets in the Iranian capital, and Israel intensified its bombing of Iranian-backed militants inside Lebanon.

The Abu Dhabi Media Office reported that an Iranian missile struck a vehicle in the capital of the United Arab Emirates, killing one person. Authorities said that Monday’s drone attacks caused fires at two oil facilities in Abu Dhabi and Fujairah, UAE.
