Answer
A Gulf connection is not automatically unusable, but it carries more short-notice uncertainty while regional airspace warnings are active. Airlines may cancel, delay, consolidate or reroute services, and a flight shown when the ticket is purchased may operate differently closer to departure.
Compare the whole itinerary with alternatives through Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Hong Kong or other hubs, considering total travel time, ticket flexibility and the consequences of a missed connection. If using Dubai, Doha, Abu Dhabi or another regional hub, check both the airline and transit-country information before departure. A protected through-ticket is generally safer than separate tickets because the airline has clearer rebooking obligations when one sector changes.
