Last update: 9 hours agoIran-U.S. Standoff: Trump says he was “an hour away” from striking Iran again, then paused after Gulf allies asked for more time, while he warns Tehran has just “two or three days” (maybe Friday–Sunday) to reach a deal—otherwise a “full, large scale assault” could follow. UAE Nuclear Alarm: The UAE says drones that hit the Barakah nuclear plant came from Iraq, with no radiation release reported, adding pressure as Strait of Hormuz tensions keep markets jumpy.

Iraq’s Industry Pulse: In Basra, protests at the $3.75B FCC refinery project intensify as former workers block gates, demanding Oil Ministry jobs; in Najaf and Erbil, officials push investment deals in water, transport, and housing. Energy Routes: UAE accelerates pipeline work to bypass Hormuz, while Iraq eyes higher exports via Turkey as shipping risk reshapes the region’s fuel map.
