- The US and Israel launched Operation Epic Fury against Iran on Saturday.
- Iran’s retaliation involved strikes across six Gulf nations.
- Photos taken during and after the strikes showed damage to a luxury hotel in Dubai and other spots.
The attacks launched by the US and Israel on Iran escalated on Saturday, with retaliatory strikes hitting nations across the Gulf.
Hours into what the Trump administration is calling Operation Epic Fury, Iran responded with attacks on more than six countries, from Dubai to Bahrain. Iran said it targeted bases that host US forces in the Middle East.
Satellite pictures also show extensive damage to Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei’s residence. Khamenei was killed on Saturday, though it is still unclear if he was at the Tehran compound when it was struck.
Intercepted missiles were seen streaking across the sky in Dubai, a tourist hotspot, and their debris appeared to spark fires and other issues. Fairmont’s famous luxury property on the Palm was hit.
Chaos was also abound at airports, amid mass flight cancellations as planes scrambled to clear the airspace over Iran.
