To sustain global influence, Gulf economies recalibrate foreign investments as war drains revenues (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Economies across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), comprising Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, have all felt the fallout from the US-Israeli war on Iran, which has had a profound effect on investment across the region. Foreign investment into the region has fallen sharply, by as much as 67 percent since the war began in February, as the uncertainty over key trade routes like Hormuz and Bab al-Mandeb has added to the concerns. The Gulf states’ own ability to invest abroa
US satellite imagery restrictions leave journalists in the dark on Iran and Gaza (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As the US and Israel launched joint strikes on Iran on 28 February and Tehran retaliated on targets across the Gulf, a quieter contest was taking shape over who could access satellite imagery of the war. One week after the initial strikes, US firm Planet Labs, the leading satellite imagery provider, announced it would release Gulf imagery with a four-day delay. Within days, the delay had been extended to 14 days and expanded to most of the Middle East. By early April, following a request from th
How China eased pressure on oil markets by halting purchases and relying on reserves (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The closure of the Strait of Hormuz should, in principle, have caused a far greater shock to oil markets than it has. This, in large part, is due to China’s policy of using its strategic stockpiles rather than purchasing crude oil at inflated prices due to the war. Before the war, the strait carried roughly 20 million barrels per day (bpd) – a fifth of global daily oil consumption – with an estimated 10 to 14 percent of global supply remaining inaccessible six months on. Even so, it has not had
Iran war pushes Middle Eastern airlines towards $4.3bn loss in 2026 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As the US and Israel launched air strikes on Iran on 28 February 2026, Iran struck back near US military installations in the Gulf, including in Qatar and the UAE. Several international airports were hit by Iranian strikes, including Dubai, the world's busiest for international passengers, as well as Abu Dhabi, Kuwait and Bahrain. The UAE, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait closed their airspaces due to safety concerns, gradually reopening them a week later as hostilities lessened. The war has had long-l
Saudi Arabia's last major oil route comes under Houthi pressure (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Houthis said on Wednesday that they had fired ballistic missiles at the NCC Wafaa, a Saudi oil tanker, off the coast of Yanbu, a major Saudi port city in the northern Red Sea. It is the northernmost attack by the Yemeni group since it began a blockade on Saudi Arabia on 22 July, and analysts warn a shift north towards Egypt and the Suez Canal would lead to increasing economic pressure on the Gulf kingdom. Until now, the Houthis had mostly targeted ships off Yemen's coast, in the southern Red
