Last update: 4 hours ago

Iran-Gulf Tensions: Netanyahu claims a secret UAE visit during the Iran war, while Tehran warns against “collusion” as the UAE denies the report—fresh fuel for already-fragile regional trust. Bahrain Security Focus: Bahrain’s Capital Governorate residents backed Interior Ministry security moves after an Iran-linked Revolutionary Guard-linked organisation was reportedly uncovered, reinforcing the Kingdom’s push to protect stability. Strait of Hormuz Watch: Analysts and Gulf officials keep circling the same pressure point—Hormuz disruption risks for energy and shipping, with Gulf allies reportedly split on how far to back U.S.-led strikes. Regional Business & Finance: Bahrain Bourse appointed SICO to expand independent equity research coverage, while Ithmaar Bank and Bank ABC Islamic posted Q1 profit updates. Tech & Services: Zain Bahrain launched Smart Voice AI agents with Voysera, and American Express Middle East signed on as official payment partner for Beyon Al Dana Amphitheatre. Weekend Lifestyle: Eid Al Adha events in the UAE are set to run through May 29, with major concerts and family shows.
