The Conflict
On February 28, the US and Israel launched a coordinated attack on Iran, leading to the political assassination of its Supreme Leader Ali Hosseini Khamenei and triggering unrest in Gulf countries.
Iran retaliated, and the conflict has now entered its sixth day.
Many Bollywood actors, like Sonal Chauhan and Esha Gupta, were stranded in different parts of the Gulf after flight services were suspended.
They are now back home safe.
Amid the travel chaos, the United Arab Emirates has resumed a limited number of flights.
According to Al Jazeera, Dubai-based airline Emirates announced that it had restarted a limited number of flights on Monday evening, adding that passengers with existing bookings would be given priority.
