The FCDO issued a slew of warnings for destinations across the region on Sunday (22 June) after the US targeted several Iranian nuclear facilities, with president Donald Trump claiming "monumental damage".


The Independent, citing a BA spokesperson, reports the carrier has adjusted its schedule "to ensure the safety of customers and crew", adding it was contacting customers to advise them of their options.


BA passengers booked to travel to Dubai and Doha on Monday and Tuesday (23-24 June) can postpone their travel by up to a week-and-a-half (through to 4 July) by calling the carrier.
