Fresh explosions were reported over Dubai and Doha for a second day as Iran expanded its retaliation across the Gulf. Witnesses said loud blasts were heard in both cities. Air defence systems were believed to be active. Iran had warned it would target US military sites after joint US–Israel strikes killed Ali Khamenei. Iranian media claimed US-linked facilities were among the targets. There was no immediate confirmation from US or Gulf officials. At least four people were reported injured near Dubai International Airport. Air traffic in parts of the region faced disruption as security alerts remained high.
