Tourists at a restaurant in Dubai scrambled for cover after a suspected explosion as Iranian attacks continue to rock the Middle East. Qatar has shot down two Iranian fighter jets after it was attacked by Tehran today and forced to shut off its gas production following a drone strike. It comes after Qatar's state-run energy firm said it ceased its liquefied natural gas production following two attacks in Ras Laffan and Mesaieed as the country cuts its ties with Iran. European gas prices increased by almost 50 per cent after Iran attacked production facilities in Qatar - one of the world's biggest exporters. Meanwhile Bahrain has declared it has intercepted 70 missiles and 59 drones launched by Iran as Tehran retaliates against the Gulf states over the US-Israel war.
