UAE-Iran Standoff: The UAE has reaffirmed it acted only within “defensive measures” after Iranian attacks it says included nearly 3,000 ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones, stressing it will protect sovereignty, civilians and vital infrastructure and reserving full rights to respond. Road Safety Crackdown (Dubai): Dubai Police seized a reckless driver’s 4x4 after he swerved through traffic near Dubai Mall, with the owner facing a Dh50,000 fine to get the vehicle back. India-UAE Energy Push: PM Modi’s brief Abu Dhabi stopover is already paying off in deals—India says the UAE will store up to 30 million barrels in India’s strategic petroleum reserves, alongside defence and long-term LPG arrangements. Maritime Tensions: Reports continue of ships being sunk or seized around the Strait of Hormuz, keeping shipping risk and regional escalation in focus. Culture Despite War: Art Dubai opened in Dubai in a scaled-down, resilience-focused edition, drawing a more local crowd as the region’s conflict reshapes plans.
