Flights in and out of Dubai have been grounded as Iran launches its strongest barrage of missiles across the Middle East yet.

Emirates, one of the leading international airlines in the region, confirmed they have suspended all their services in the city until further notice.

They urged passengers not to travel to the airport, adding they do not want to compromise the safety of their crew.
