'Very Dangerous Situation': Kamaal R Khan Says His Family Didn't Sleep The Whole Night Because Of Missile & Drone Sounds In Dubai

Actor and self-proclaimed film critic Kamaal R Khan shared a worrying update from Dubai amid the escalating US-Iran conflict. On March 1, KRK took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to reveal that his family had a sleepless night due to the sound of explosions in the city.

He wrote, "My family didn’t sleep for full night because of blast sound of missiles and drones in Dubai. It’s very dangerous situation for all the residents in the city."

KRK has been actively posting his views and reactions on social media as tensions continue to rise in West Asia. His latest post comes in the backdrop of coordinated strikes launched by the United States and Israel on Iran, which reportedly triggered retaliatory missile and drone attacks by Iran in the region.

The developments have led to heightened security alerts and disruptions across the Gulf.

The conflict has also affected air travel. Several international airlines suspended or rerouted flights after airspace over Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Israel and Bahrain appeared largely empty on flight tracking maps.

In the UAE, operations at Dubai International Airport and Al Maktoum International Airport were suspended until further notice due to security concerns. Authorities stated that within hours of the shutdown, more than 280 flights were cancelled and over 250 were delayed.

Meanwhile, Iranian state media confirmed that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed in the joint US-Israeli airstrikes. Iran’s Fars News Agency, citing sources, reported that four of his relatives - including his daughter, grandchild and son-in-law - also lost their lives in the attacks.

Earlier, former US President Donald Trump announced that the Iranian Supreme Leader had been killed in the joint strikes, calling it the "single greatest chance" for Iranians to reclaim control of their country.
