Summary
Tensions across the Gulf have escalated, leading to flight cancellations and delays for UAE residents. Etihad, Emirates, and flydubai have cancelled flights to Saudi Arabia, and some evening departures are running late. Iran's Revolutionary Guards claimed responsibility for setting two oil tankers ablaze in the Strait of Hormuz, causing oil prices to rise. The Saudi-led coalition intercepted a Houthi missile and downed a drone over Riyadh. The UAE's emergency preparedness at the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant was commended by the International Atomic Energy Agency. Travel advisories for the UAE remain in place, with the US and Australia urging reconsidering travel.
