Telegram CEO Pavel Durov wrote in the post:\u201cUnfortunately, I had to leave Dubai for Europe a week ago \u2014 so I\u2019m not only missing the free fireworks from Iran, but also exposing myself to greater risk. Given Europe\u2019s crime rates, Dubai is statistically safer even with missiles flying. Can\u2019t wait to be back\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gulf tensions escalate after Iran strikes<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s continued missile and drone strikes across the Gulf have raised fears of a wider conflict in the region. For a second day straight, loud explosions were heard in cities of Dubai, Doha and Manama, according to AFP correspondents on Sunday, March 1. The attacks followed large-scale US and Israeli air strikes on Iran, which reportedly killed Iran\u2019s supreme leader and other senior officials. According to an AFP report, the UAE has confirmed that four people were killed and dozens injured in the recent missile and drone attacks across the Gulf. In response, the UAE announced it was closing its embassy in Tehran and recalling its ambassador. In a statement, the UAE foreign ministry described the attacks as hostile and said civilian areas, airports, ports and service facilities were endangered. It called the strikes a serious and irresponsible escalation.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
