Nuclear Tensions Spike: A drone strike sparked a fire at the Barakah nuclear power plant’s perimeter in Abu Dhabi, hitting an electrical generator outside the inner site area. The UAE says there were no injuries and no impact on radiation safety, while investigations continue and the country calls it an “unprovoked terrorist attack” and a dangerous escalation. Regional Condemnations: Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Jordan, the Arab League, and Ukraine all condemned the attack, with the IAEA urging maximum restraint and monitoring the situation. US-Iran Pressure Rises: As Trump warns Iran the “clock is ticking” and signals possible military options, oil prices climbed to a two-week high on renewed fears around the Strait of Hormuz. Diplomatic Ripples: UAE and Saudi officials reported drone incidents amid the wider Iran deadlock, while Iran warned the UAE against deeper Israel ties. Local Watch: Etihad Credit Bureau launched a tenant screening service via UAE PASS, letting landlords request credit scores with tenant consent. Sports: Bahrain beat the UAE 3-0 in men’s volleyball at the GCC Games.
