There were dramatic events in the gulf region after Iran launched a missile attack on a US air base in Qatar. There were no casualties but the event understandably ratcheted up tension in the region.
Soon after US president Trump announced that a ceasefire deal between Israel and Iran had been agreed. Iranian state TV has also announced that they have agreed to a ceasefire but nothing from Israel as yet.
The missile attack on Qatar caused the shutdown of the country's air space. In business we'll look at what that meant for the region's busy air traffic .
