Dubai: Reports indicate that Iranian drones targeted the United States Consulate in Dubai and the US Embassy in Saudi Arabia, sharply escalating tensions across the Middle East. Security forces in both countries were placed on high alert as authorities began assessing potential damage and strengthening protection around diplomatic zones. Officials said monitoring continues amid fears of further escalation. Analysts warn that instability in key Gulf hubs such as Dubai could affect investor confidence, international travel and commercial activity. Prolonged regional conflict may also influence cross-border capital flows and property investment patterns in major Middle Eastern real estate markets.
