Australian billionaire Adrian Portelli has reiterated that he feels safer with his young family in Dubai as Iranian missiles rain down on the city than he did in Melbourne. At least two drones struck Dubai Airport - one of the busiest in the world - on Sunday, and the world-famous Burj Al Arab and Palm Jumeirah luxury hotels were also hit. The Iranian regime has vowed to unleash its 'most intense offensive operation in history' the likes of which its enemies 'have never experienced before'. But in the video shared on Monday night, Portelli seemed unfazed as he walked through a luxury apartment and double down on his statement in an earlier video that he felt safer in Dubai that crime-ridden Melbourne. The UAE's Ministry of Defence said that, as of Sunday afternoon, it had shot down 152 ballistic missiles, two cruise missiles and 506 drones.
