Iran has announced a suspension of its bombardments on neighbouring Gulf states one week after the conflict began, though it warned that attacks could resume if it faces aggression from those countries. The statement was made public on Saturday through various international news channels.
Local authorities in Gulf countries have issued reassurances to residents, including Andorrans living in the region, urging them to remain calm and carry on with daily activities as normal. Qatar's officials initially raised the alert level for residents before quickly updating that the security threat had been lifted and conditions had returned to normal.
Andorran expatriates in the area report receiving consistent messages of tranquillity from authorities. Pau Augé, an Andorran resident in Dubai, said officials have repeatedly emphasised that the situation is safe. "The only communications we've received stress maintaining calm. They tell us the situation is secure," he noted.
Augé added that instructions permit normal routines, with guarantees of safety and promises of prompt updates if circumstances change. "They've assured us we can continue activities as usual, that they guarantee our security, and they'll provide instructions for shelter or whatever is needed if there's any novelty," he explained.
Residents are closely following developments, including Iran's morning communiqué halting attacks on Gulf nations. For now, local officials continue monitoring the situation while upholding messages of calm. Authorities have not provided further details on potential escalations.
