Lindsay Lohan confirms family 'safe' in Dubai as Iran retaliates after US-Israel
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates: Actor Lindsay Lohan and her family are safe following retaliatory strikes across Dubai and other Gulf cities, according to TMZ. The attacks come amid escalating tensions after US and Israeli military operations targeted Iranian nuclear and strategic sites.
Sources familiar with the situation confirmed that Lohan, her husband Bader Shammas, and their son Luai were unharmed despite explosions reported across the UAE. The missile interceptions and blasts that shook Dubai and surrounding regions raised fears of a wider conflict in the Middle East.
Lindsay Lohan and family confirmed safe in Dubai amid missile strikes
Lohan has been residing in Dubai since 2015, largely keeping a low profile. Sources told TMZ that she, Shammas, and Luai were safe after the recent strikes.
Lohan and Shammas began dating in 2020, got engaged in 2021, and married in 2022. They welcomed their son Luai in 2023. The actor has previously said she values the “serenity and peace” of life in Dubai, far from the paparazzi spotlight.
Explosions and missile attacks shake major Gulf cities including Dubai and Abu Dhabi
Iran launched retaliatory missile and drone strikes across multiple Gulf locations after US and Israeli forces carried out attacks on Iranian nuclear and strategic facilities. Explosions were reported in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, and Manama, with visible missile interceptions and smoke rising over areas including Jebel Ali port.
The UAE Ministry of Defence reported at least three fatalities, including Pakistani, Nepalese, and Bangladeshi nationals. Several others were injured across the region, including in Qatar, where missiles and drones targeted key infrastructure. Iranian forces reportedly launched over 100 missiles and 200 drones toward Gulf targets, though air defenses intercepted many, limiting broader casualties.
Middle East tensions escalate after US and Israeli strikes on Iran
The strikes followed US and Israeli operations that killed top Iranian leadership figures, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, according to Iranian state media. Iran’s retaliation targeted military bases and strategic sites across the Gulf, where thousands of US troops are stationed.
Explosions were also reported near Erbil International Airport in Iraq, while drone strikes hit Oman’s Duqm port, injuring at least one expatriate worker. Regional and global leaders have warned that the ongoing military escalation could have far-reaching international consequences.
