DUBAI/RIYADH, Sept 24 (Reuters) – Iranian flights to Gulf neighbours including travel hub Dubai appeared to have been cancelled on Thursday after a US deadline passed for global firms to halt work with Iran’s airlines, a major step in a campaign President Donald Trump calls “economic D-Day”.
In Saudi Arabia, where an escalating conflict with Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi fighters this month has become the main front in the wider Middle East war, authorities said they had intercepted six ballistic missiles fired by the Houthis.
