An influencer couple has been left stranded in Dubai after flying out on the day of the military campaign against Iran as they “don’t follow the news”.
Ola Jaworska and Paweł Jaworski said they intend to cross into Oman and take a return flight home from there.
They announced that they are expecting their second child three days ago, as reported by Need To Know.

The celeb couple, who have 640,000 and 1.7m YouTube subscribers respectively, have been preoccupied with Ola’s pregnancy.
As a result, they have been busy creating content related to their family news.
They flew to Dubai on Saturday (28 Feb), the same day Operation Epic Fury was launched against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
They said on Instagram that they “totally didn’t know” about the conflict.
Ola, who has 388,000 Insta fans and Paweł, who has 546,000 Insta followers, confirmed that they are both safe, and are looking for options to leave Dubai.
Ola and Paweł, better known online as Zukoll and Jawor respectively, said: “We totally didn’t know, we don’t follow the news, especially recently.
“It’s been quite intense for us.
“Our pages have mainly been pregnancy announcements.
“We didn’t know what was happening.
“We wouldn’t have come here if we knew the situation was so tense.”
The couple, who lives in the Polish port city of Gdynia, said they saw missiles falling from the sky followed by nearby explosions.
“We’re hiding in low buildings with as few windows as possible and recommend others do the same,” they advised.
“People are generally functioning normally, there are no alerts or alarms.
“Fragments fell when we were at the Marina.
“We have to wait for information, we can’t really do any more.
“Don’t go into tall buildings, don’t walk outside in open spaces, and most importantly don’t panic.”
They said they are currently looking for ways to leave Dubai.
They were considering the option of crossing into Oman by land before taking a flight back to Poland from there.
They have yet to provide any further information on their departure.
Regional tensions have escalated after the US-Israeli strikes against Iran.
In retaliation, Iranian forces targeted multiple locations holding US assets, specifically hitting airbases in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and the UAE.
The attacks included drone and missile strikes in the UAE.
Over 800 people have reportedly been killed since Operation Epic Fury was launched, including senior Iranian leaders.
The attacks have forced the closure of airspace in several regions of the Persian Gulf.
