Arrests and pressure are mounting in the oil monarchies, which are facing Iranian airstrikes for the first time. Tourists, as well as journalists, are being accused of 'spreading panic' by sharing footage of the damage.

The UAE says more than 1,800 drones and missiles have been projected at the country since the war began.

Several people have been arrested in Dubai for having, sharing or commenting on digital content that shows attacks or damage from attacks by Iran.
