Iran’s Revenge Rains Over Gulf as Attacks Hit Dubai and Doha

Iran’s retaliation has engulfed the Gulf in a rapidly widening conflict, with Tehran launching strikes against American and Israeli assets, vowing revenge for Khamenei’s killing. Missiles were intercepted over Tel Aviv as sirens wailed and Israel’s air defences engaged incoming projectiles.

Explosions echoed across Dubai and Doha, with reported strikes near Palm Jumeirah and the Burj Al Arab. In Qatar, U.S. defences intercepted missiles targeting Al Udeid Air Base, while blasts were reported in Bahrain, Jordan and Kuwait. Even Oman and the Strait of Hormuz were affected. The region now stands on the brink of a far broader war.

The United States has responded with a show of force, deploying B-2 Stealth Bombers, Lucas Drones, Patriot interceptor missiles, THAAD anti-ballistic missile systems and more to dismantle what it describes as the Iranian regime’s security apparatus.

Analysts say months of surveillance helped pinpoint a rare window of opportunity, fueling a seismic shift in West Asia’s power balance. Reports also describe dramatic footage of strikes on Tehran and the rapid, retaliatory strikes that followed, underscoring how quickly the conflict could widen beyond the Gulf.
