The unwanted attack on Iran, for reason other than to maintain their personal Positions of Power, brought instant retaliation from Iran to countries associated by supporting USA & Israel.

In retaliation, Iran launched hundreds of drones and ballistic missiles at Israel, US military bases in the region, neighbouring Arab countries including Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, as well as Iraq’s Kurdistan.

UAE & Qatar which operates the World’s largest flight hubs had to stop operations for inoperability of Drone attacks.

Dubai the Golden City lost more.

The United Arab Emirates’ stock markets in Dubai and Abu Dhabi have lost around $120bn in value since the start of the US-Israel war on Iran, placing them among the hardest-hit financial markets worldwide.

Dubai and Abu Dhabi’s benchmark indexes have plunged about 16 percent and 9 percent, respectively, since the United States and Israel launched their war on Iran on February 28.

Since the start of the war, the Dubai Financial Market (DFM) General Index has lost about $45bn in market capitalisation, while the larger ADX General Index has shed about $75bn.

Financial markets in Qatar and Bahrain have dropped about 4 percent and 7 percent, respectively, while exchanges in Saudi Arabia and Oman have racked up gains.

Of course when someone reads LankaWeb, it is more like a historical sob-story on the spilt-milk or ancient history which is readily available on Google!

When do some of these writers think about tomorrow on how Sri Lanka could thrive as a great island to live?

Writers please Get-Out-of-the-Box. Remove your sunglasses. 

Time to give preference to Creating the Island in the Sun-Sea-Opportunity into Reality!
