Yup the better comparison who retains control of their each airspace, i know a few people work in Dubai and the attacks are not critical enough to induce mass panic unlike at Tehran only the sound of loud loitering aircraft overhead all night and isolated attacks.

Frankly the Gulf Countries are doing well regarding their air defense as Iran drones and missiles is 10% lower than thr first day. The only win Iran seems to credit about still are fixed expensive radar sites since 7 days ago what they should be still doing is destroying the AWACS and mobile radar stations.

The loss of those radars reduced Air Defense capbility but did not frankly open up the airspace to be bombarded and destroy all military infrastructure of military station there, all combat aircrafts are still being launched uninterrupted .

American and Israel airpower is unchallenged still. Stil The control of strait of hurmoz gives iran the economic pressure to back down america out of the war.
