NonilexThe #FairmontHotel is located in Dubai’s high-end #PalmJumeirah, a thickly-settled manmade island off the city beach, known for its luxury apartments, hotels & restaurants.
The landfall of an Iranian drone in the middle of one of the wealthiest, most populated cities in the #UAE is virtually unprecedented. The strikes also come during #Ramadan, & CNN staff on the ground in #Dubai heard blasts in between calls to prayer from mosques in the city.
Video shared with CNN shows the moment of impact. The drone, its wings clearly outlined against the sky, dropped at a steep angle between several high rise buildings before bursting into flame when it reached the ground.

Zhi Zhu 🕸️"A war is a time when we will be told not to ask questions. But a war is actually when questions must be asked....
War does not create a clean slate where suddenly we have to believe the absurd just because a leader says it. On the contrary, war provides the opportunity to see the core of the absurdity and the destruction that is being offered to us."

VladyslavDUBAI UNDER ATTACK — AS TRUMP STRIKES IRAN, THE UAE BECOMES A BATTLEGROUND
Footage emerging from Dubai shows smoke rising near key infrastructure, emergency services deployed across multiple locations, civilians evacuating affected areas, and air defense systems active over the city.
Dubai is home to hundreds of thousands of expatriates, global corporations, and critical infrastructure including Al Maktoum International Airport and Jebel Ali Port—one of the world's busiest container ports. Earlier, Al Dhafra Air Base near Abu Dhabi—a key US reconnaissance and refueling hub—was targeted by Iranian missiles. Tonight, attacks have reached Dubai itself.
Images coming out of Dubai today would have been unthinkable 48 hours ago. A city built on stability, tourism, and international business is now a scene of explosions and evacuations.
"Gulf Arab states who oppose Iranian power have generated extremely generous packages of compensation for companies associated with Trump personally & with members of his family. The United Arab Emirates... The Saudis... The Qataris... The list is very long.
And now — we are using #military force to take the side of precisely the countries who have enriched #Trump and his family."

nullagentIran has fired missiles towards several countries who host American military bases.
They generals state that they are currently using their oldest missiles for the initial response strikes and that their campaign will intensify and increase in quality as they begin pulling out their new technology.
This map is already a bit out of date I believe. From videos online it seems Israel's Haifa & Tel Aviv likely suffered direct strikes.
