Travel advice issued amid Middle East conflict as flights cancelled at Stansted

The US and Israel are continuing to hit Iran after the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, leading the UK government to advise against travelling to 21 countries in the Middle East.

Places previously considered safe, such as Dubai and Doha, have now become the target sites of retaliatory strikes from Iran.

Airlines have cancelled flights to Dubai and other destinations due to the conflicts.
