Nuclear Tensions Spike: A drone strike hit an electrical generator outside the inner perimeter of Abu Dhabi’s Barakah nuclear power plant, triggering a fire, but UAE regulators say there was no radioactive release, no impact on safety systems, and no injuries; the UAE says the attack is a “dangerous escalation” and reserves the right to respond, while the IAEA says it is monitoring closely. Regional Condemnations: Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, and the Arab League all condemned the attack as a violation of international law and a threat to regional stability, with Arab League and UAE officials stressing solidarity and civilian protection. Diplomacy vs. Deadlock: As the US-Iran ceasefire remains fragile and talks stall, Trump warned Iran the “clock is ticking,” while UAE leaders held calls with Qatar and the IAEA chief to discuss de-escalation and cooperation. Trade Resilience: Separately, Dubai’s Oman “Green Corridor” reported a surge in shipments and cargo value after disruptions, showing supply routes are adapting fast.
