Dubai Reopens Schools and Restores Financial Hub as Iran Missile Alerts Stop

3 articles · Updated · The Washington Post · Jun 12

Summary

  • Schools reopened and Dubai’s financial center returned to near full capacity after Iran’s missile and drone alerts subsided, easing the disruption that had briefly emptied parts of the city.
  • Traffic again clogged major roads and daily routines resumed, signaling a visible return to normalcy after the height of Tehran’s retaliatory attacks.
  • That recovery still masks war fatigue and uncertainty in the UAE, where the conflict has sharpened fears that Iran can threaten regional adversaries even without a nuclear bomb.
