"On Saturday 28 February, regional escalation across the Middle East saw Iranian missiles make contact with countries including the United Arab Emirates, Israel, Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan and Kuwait. The conflict follows Israeli and American strikes on Iran and the assassination of Iran's leader Ali Hosseini Khamenei."
"With airspace closed across the Middle East and talk of mass evacuations due to the escalating situation and threat of wider conflict, thousands of Brits have been left stranded across the region."
"The latest advice states that British nationals should read official information on what to do if they're affected by a crisis abroad, sign up for FCDO travel advice email alerts, monitor local and international media for the latest news, keep departure plans under constant review, and, if advised to take shelter, stay indoors."
