Sale of gas masks will go up. Also you'll need sunglasses with gamma protection if you intend watching the fireworks.

I suspect the recent raised security alert was really about this. (Rather than overheard conversations in AUH nightspots)

Remember, the UAE does a large amount of trade with Iran, and feelings would run high in the event of any such attack.

Note:

International Atomic Energy Agency head Mohammed Elbaradei said Friday that Iran's nuclear research program was not such as to raise grave concerns at the moment, and that any attack on the research facilities would turn the Middle East into a fireball and force his own resignation. Quotes from the Al-Arabiya interview via Reuters:

"I don't believe that what I see in Iran today is a current, grave and urgent danger. If a military strike is carried out against Iran at this time ... it would make me unable to continue my work . . ."

"A military strike, in my opinion, would be worse than anything possible. It would turn the region into a fireball . . ."

"If you do a military strike, it will mean that Iran, if it is not already making nuclear weapons, will launch a crash course to build nuclear weapons with the blessing of all Iranians, even those in the West."

How'd you figure that?

An attack might scare investors away from the region and cause a market crash...unless you meant a good time to buy in Tel Aviv?

I hope the rents will go down on this wonderful news...
Also, we need to pull down the price of Coca Cola at Shangrilla...

Of course the theory is that war brings prices to a very low level because people flee affected areas and/or people with property would be strapped for cash...After the war ends, rebuilding begins, so a construction boom scenario follows...
