Iran-Israel conflict New round of attacks, tension spreads across the Gulf
Published: 02:23 2 March 2026
Sirens sounded in various parts of Israel after new missile launches from Iran. Qatar-based media Al Jazeera reported that Israel's air defense system is actively repelling the attack and citizens have been ordered to take shelter. Several international airlines, including Qatar Airways, have suspended flights due to increased risks in the airspace.
The conflict has affected Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. There have been reports of a US F-15 Eagle crash in Kuwait, and explosions have been heard in Doha and Abu Dhabi. Authorities have also said they will intercept drones and missiles in Erbil, Iraq.
At least 31 people have been killed in Israeli attacks in Lebanon. On the other hand, Iran has said that it is in a defensive position and will not negotiate. According to analysts, the entire region is at risk of being involved in a larger conflict due to the ongoing attacks and counterattacks.
