Last update: an hour ago

Iran Pressure Play: The US Treasury rolled out fresh Iran sanctions, adding new tankers and targeting an Iran-linked foreign-currency exchange network, as Washington keeps economic chokeholds while Trump says he’s delaying a planned strike. UAE Nuclear Alarm: The UAE says the drones that hit near Barakah came from Iraqi territory, with air defences intercepting six hostile drones in 48 hours; the UN nuclear watchdog warned a direct hit could trigger severe radiation risk. Diplomacy vs. “Locked and Loaded”: Trump told Gulf leaders he’ll give talks “two or three days,” but Vice President JD Vance says a military restart remains an option if no deal lands. G7 Energy Talks: G7 finance chiefs met in Paris to tackle the energy-price shock tied to the Iran war and the near-closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Gulf Labour Ripple: Nepal’s outflow to GCC fell sharply, with ILO blaming the wider West Asia crisis on disrupted routes, higher costs, and weaker migration flows. Business & Trade: Foreign investment dipped to $1.409bn, while AD Ports and Borouge explored an alternative East Coast export hub to reduce reliance on constrained routes.
