Iran struck the world-famous Fairmont hotel in Dubai, setting the hotel alight, as the war launched by the US and Israel on Iran quickly spread to the rest of the Middle East on Saturday.
Residents watched in shock as an Iranian missile hit the five-star hotel in Dubai’s luxurious Palm Jumeirah area. Social media videos showed fires breaking out near the entrance of the hotel, which led to four people being injured.
One resident said that “everyone is very scared” as the situation in Dubai continued to deteriorate.
“There is footage of missile interceptions all over the city,” they said. “I am packing a suitcase just in case … not that we can leave, because airspace is closed. It is the thing we have all been frightened about happening, and now it has.”

Bored of peace at work.
Bored of peace
Yes that’s what they said
The “at work” confused me.
Must be a military hotel.
How do we know which are Iranian strikes and which are made to look like Iranian strikes?
When bombs go off, they don’t atomize. There’s always scraps left which you can compare to known armaments, not to mention markings on said arms shards. Also chemical analysis can determine whose explosives are used, like a fingerprint.
Will we have clear and independent access to this testing and information? Or will this not be spoken of again in any matter of detail
Only time will tell. But it’s surprisingly easy to tell where explosives come from with investigation.
It would be a lot cooler if they just targeted Trump properties and golf courses
Quick somebody call Jared Kushner!
Jordan is particularly interesting. Israel wants all of it for “Greater Israel”
