Ceasefire Shockwaves: Trump says the US-Iran ceasefire is “on life support” after rejecting Tehran’s latest proposal as “garbage,” while the Strait of Hormuz stays effectively shut and oil prices hold above $100. UAE in the Crossfire: The Wall Street Journal reports the UAE carried out secret strikes on Iran, including an early-April attack on Lavan Island’s refinery—claims the UAE hasn’t confirmed—amid fresh drone and missile activity across the Gulf. US Pressure on Iran’s Cashflow: Washington imposed new sanctions on people and companies (including UAE-linked firms) accused of helping Iran ship oil to China, as Trump prepares to push Xi Jinping on the standoff. Local Reality Check: UAE schools are back to in-person learning, but nurseries say they’re still feeling the financial squeeze. Regional Trade Ripples: Libya’s NOC takes full control of Ras Lanuf, ending a long dispute tied to a UAE-linked partner. Money Ties: Pakistan’s remittances hit a record near $34bn in 10 months, with GCC inflows—especially from the UAE—doing much of the heavy lifting.
