In March 2026, Iran launched missile and drone attacks at Gulf countries, claiming retaliation for a U.S.-Israeli attack and targeting U.S. military bases and interests, not civilians. A report by Vivian Nereim and colleagues examines the impact of these strikes on migrant workers in the region. The report, featuring an interview with Katrin Bennhold, focuses on how these workers have been affected by the Iranian attacks. While Iranian officials state they are avoiding civilian targets, the report sheds light on the specific consequences for migrant workers living in the Gulf countries.
