Anxiety for Middle East after Iran-Israel attacks and Trump ceasefire

“In my opinion, this war was one winner – and that was the United States. Because it also showed Israel that without the United States, it could not win – or even a war – and the second loser was the Islamic Republic, which realized that it had no military ability to have any calm capacity, as the United States could reach every part of Iran, and there could be any ability of the players. Only for everything to be destroyed in the matter of nights.” H., Director of Oil and Gas Business in Tehran, Iran

Many people are still killing there every day. ” Saad Al -Iyan, a Palestinian businessman living in Dubai

“They are completely tired. We are angry, frustrated, sad and afraid. We feel we are unable and feel a great deal of injustice.

“Just like all other small interactions between Iran and Israel, this age was not very short, and they were essentially just a kind of skirmishes and then called it one day. I knew that this would not be a different thing. And the signal mark was the fact that this is the fact that this was not just a hot. Save the face and says both of them won, and they did technically, because there was no war, so there is no technical loser. ” – Amir, video editor, Isfahan, Iran

Much to express joy. It is a cursed bilateral experience now to be Iranian. ” S., Iranian expatriate and consultant in Dubai

“I am essentially concerned about safe havens such as Dubai are no longer safe havens because the United States and Israel can act independently of any international bases without punishment.

Will my relatives in Iraq be safe given that they are very close to Iran? ” – Wow, Iraqi expatriate and lawyer in Dubai

“There is a feeling of relief because nuclear capabilities and Iranian baccalaels have seriously deteriorated-but also deep anxiety about the danger of another comprehensive regional war, and it is unlikely to be stopped firing.
