Dubai airport resumes operations after brief suspension as Iran strikes US base in Qatar

Dubai Airports confirmed on Monday evening that its operations resumed at full capacity after a temporary suspension. The airport also emphasized that the safety and comfort of all passengers and flight crews remained its top priority.

"While Dubai Airports works with airlines to ensure flights operate according to approved schedules, some flights may experience delays or cancellations. Therefore, all travelers are advised to check the latest updates through the airlines they fly to," the Dubai Media Office said.

Earlier, Kuwait and Bahrain also announced closure of their airspaces.

Late Monday evening, Iranian state television reported that Iran has launched an operation targeting a US base in Qatar.

The development comes as American officials had been anticipating possible retaliatory action by Iran following the recent US strikes on Iranian targets.
