DUBAI – A Fort Myers couple is caught in the middle of Operation Epic Fury, a military effort led by Central Command to dismantle the Iranian regime.<\/p>\n
Alexander Irigoyen and his wife are currently in Dubai, waiting for a safe opportunity to return home.<\/p>\n
Irigoyen shared that he recently spoke with the Department of Homeland Security, which offered them a flight from Abu Dhabi to Dallas if they can reach the airport.<\/p>\n
He expressed the challenges of navigating a war zone, saying, “Abu Dhabi is not around the corner. How do I get from here to Abu Dhabi? I mean, I’m in the war zone.”<\/p>\n
As missiles began to fly, their trip was unexpectedly extended, leaving them to seek shelter when alerts hit their phones.<\/p>\n
Despite the situation, Irigoyen said, “Here in Dubai, very few of those strikes happen here. Very, very few, I guess. And so from that point of view, I still feel pretty safe.”<\/p>\n
Though airspace is open, it remains heavily restricted, making their journey home uncertain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"DUBAI – A Fort Myers couple is caught in the middle of Operation Epic Fury, a military effort…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":180265,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[85231,209,211,210,85230,21825,6204,9998,21539,83788],"class_list":["post-180264","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cape-coral","tag-abu-dhabi","tag-cape-coral","tag-cape-coral-headlines","tag-cape-coral-news","tag-central-command","tag-dallas","tag-department-of-homeland-security","tag-dubai","tag-iran","tag-persian-gulf"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180264","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=180264"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180264\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/180265"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=180264"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=180264"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=180264"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
