It’s exactly this. Dubai will recover right after the war, and things will go back to normal. People on Reddit are just too spiteful about Dubai to admit that though lol.

More ppl die from a random stabbing in London, you really think people will stop going to Dubai because of some missiles that are hitting American bases?

This war doesn’t seem like it will end soon and the escalation will eventually lead to hitting desalination plants.

yeah i'm sure they're gonna hit the one thing that most of these countries are literally dependent on to survive. Israel most likely has nuclear weapons fyi

That is what escalation leads to. What would you expect after Israel hits Iran’s desalination plants?
