  Iran Strikes Send VIP Dubai Influencers ‘Back To Reality’

  “OMG!” Israeli wellness influencer Hofit Golan exclaims repeatedly in a video that shows a building near her apartment in flames.

  British content creator Will Bailey was updating his Instagram and TikTok followers by filming the trails of smoke left by missiles and interceptor rockets in Dubai’s skyline.

  “That was metres away from us,” he says in a video filmed near the Fairmont hotel, which was hit by a strike on Saturday.

  Other influencers were less composed, with France’s Maeva Ghennam who, waving her passport around, told viewers she “screamed hysterically” when she heard a strike.

    Looks like some are stuck there for awhile too.

    On Sunday, the French embassy in the UAE reiterated to its nationals in the country that it was not possible to leave because Emirati airspace remained closed until further notice.

    It urged French citizens there to “strictly follow the safety instructions: stay at home (and) keep away from windows, doors and open areas”.

    I thought they were specifically targeting countries with US bases?

    Not all Sunni nations, just the ones with US bases.
