It comes as Iran launched new attacks on Tuesday (March 10) onIsraeland Gulf Arab countries as it kept up pressure on the Middle East, in a war that has impacted the region and beyond, sending oil prices skyrocketing and stunning global economies.
Sirens warning of incoming missiles rang out in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, and in Bahrain, while Saudi Arabia said it took out two drones over its oil-rich eastern region. Meanwhile, Kuwait's National Guard said it shot down six drones.
Iran has been carrying out strikes against US military bases in neighbouring Gulf states in retaliation for the US-Israeli strikes, which have killed dozens of senior figures in the regime.
