British Airways and Singapore Airlines have suspended flights to Dubai in the wake of US airstrikes on Iran in the early hours of Sunday morning.

A flight from London to Dubai was forced to turn back less than two hours before it was due to land following Donald Trump’s air strike on Iran. British Airways Flight 109 left Heathrow at 9.53pm on Saturday night – hours before the US dropped bombs on three of Tehran’s nuclear sites.

Flights to Dubai and Doha have been cancelled following the US strikes on Iran. The decision comes after Donald Trump ordered US air strikes on three of Iran's nuclear sites. Though not actively involved, the UK Government was briefed before the strikes which saw B-2 stealth bombers and submarine-launched missiles in use.
