I have been following the rapid escalation of the conflict in the Middle East following the recent joint U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran and the subsequent missile and drone strikes launched by Iran across the region.
This escalation has profound implications for regional safety and the safety of civilians. Dubai and the wider UAE host a significant British expatriate community, and the British Government has urged UK nationals in the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain to shelter in place and follow the advice of local authorities and the Foreign Office.
The protection of civilians and the security of British citizens is of paramount importance. If any constituents are currently in the region or have loved ones there, who require assistance, my office is here to help and will do all we can to support you.

We must all now work towards a future with a free and peaceful Iran.
