Last update: 2 hours agoMaritime Flashpoint: Iran’s IRGC says it destroyed a U.S. Saildrone Explorer surveillance drone near the Strait of Hormuz, after a prior seizure of an advanced U.S. underwater drone—raising fresh supply-risk fears as Brent jumps above $107. Energy Costs & Climate Pressure: With Qatari LNG shipments through Hormuz “all but dried up,” Asia’s buyers are paying far more on spot markets (about $7.4bn spent by major emerging importers), pushing a rethink of LNG’s role versus renewables and other fuels. Diplomacy in the Gulf: Oman postponed Iran–Gulf talks on reopening Hormuz for regular tanker traffic, citing “consensus,” as the region weighs legal/fee frameworks while shipping remains disrupted. Food Security & Fertiliser: A report flags how expensive imported phosphate is, pointing to struvite recovered from wastewater as a possible homegrown alternative that could cut legacy phosphorus pollution. Labour & Green Transition: Qatar and Kuwait used the Arab Labour Conference in Cairo to stress de-escalation, workers’ rights, and how climate change and the shift to a green economy affect jobs and safety.
