"Currently in the Middle East, in Abu Dhabi Airport, I'll give you a quick glimpse of where I am. That is my plane that I am meant to be catching to go back to the UK. My mum said to me when I was a little boy, 'wherever you are, there's never a dull moment'."
"I'm at this airport, and we're hearing some pretty loud bangs going off, and that is anti-missiles taking out missiles that are being fired at some American base. Chaos continues. The flight's been cancelled, still hearing explosives, so we give up."
Liverpool legend Graeme Souness is stuck at Abu Dhabi International Airport amid escalating military conflict in the Middle East. After Iran retaliated against US and Israeli strikes by targeting sites across Dubai, Doha, Bahrain, and Kuwait, thousands of British nationals, including Souness, face cancelled flights and no immediate route home. The 72-year-old posted social media updates describing hearing loud explosions from anti-missile systems engaging incoming Iranian missiles. Souness had traveled to the UAE three weeks prior in his capacity as a Liverpool ambassador. He documented the chaotic situation at the airport, noting his flight cancellation and the ongoing security threats.
