Conflict Timeline

The US and Israel conducted strikes on Iranian targets beginning in February, after which Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz and carried out strikes on sites across the region, including Dubai. Following the collapse of a short-term ceasefire, US strikes on Iranian sites continued for at least nine days.

The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has not altered its guidance for the UAE since removing the "all but essential travel" advisory on 18 June and states that the situation remains unpredictable.
