They then launched a crackdown.<\/p>\n<p>Gulf countries have used the war as a pretext to expand restrictions on freedom of expression that were already in place before the conflict.<\/p>\n<p>For example, between May 20 and May 26, more than 300 people were arrested in Bahrain alone. At least 34 people were sentenced to prison terms ranging from three to 10 years for sharing a photograph or video on Instagram, according to local <a href=\"https:\/\/www.france24.com\/en\/tag\/human-rights\/\" target=\"_self\" class=\"gtm-add-suggested-tag\">human rights<\/a> groups.<\/p>\n<p>In Kuwait, more than 200 people received either suspended sentences or prison terms ranging from one to 10 years between April and May.<\/p>\n<p>In the UAE, authorities announced the arrest of 375 people in March. We also documented Emirati police conducting door-to-door searches and inspecting phones in areas where drones had struck. However, we have little information about the legal status of those detained in the UAE.<\/p>\n<p>Another aspect of the crackdown in Kuwait and Bahrain is the stripping of citizenship.<\/p>\n<p>Bahrain recently announced that it had revoked the citizenship of 69 people for, according to the authorities, \u2018expressing sympathy with the Iranian attacks or engaging with external parties\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Kuwait also announced that it had stripped more than 1,000 people of their citizenship without providing reasons.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that, while countries may derogate from certain rights during armed conflict, such measures must comply with international human rights standards, including legality, necessity and proportionality.<\/p>\n<p>The blanket bans imposed by Gulf states go far beyond these requirements and remain incompatible with international law.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"a-read-more\"><span class=\"a-read-more__label\">Read more<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.france24.com\/en\/middle-east\/20260404-us-missiles-kuwait-iran-himars-launches-gmlrs-france24-investigation\" target=\"_self\" class=\"a-read-more__link\">Videos show US missiles being launched from Kuwait into Iran<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Satellite imagery and smoke detection used to verify strikes<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Shalaby said the crackdown was \u201cundermining the ability of media and researchers to document these attacks\u201d.

As a result, journalists and researchers have largely had to rely on rare, short videos posted online despite the risks, lower-resolution European satellite services such as Sentinel-2, Iranian satellite imagery and images supplied by some Chinese companies.<\/p>\n<div id=\"em-WBMZ570722-F24-EN-20260723\" class=\"m-em-flash\" data-telegram-script><figcaption class=\"a-figcaption\">\n                Satellite images released by Iran&#8217;s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) show several strikes on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan.
