  1. Bloomberg article this morning with the following headline:

    UAE Joins Saudis, Qatar in Urging Trump Not to Restart War

    No idea how to get around the paywall so I’ll just post the AI Summary:

    The United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar have urged US President Donald Trump to give negotiations a chance to end the Iran war, citing fears of retaliation from Tehran that could harm Gulf economies.

    The countries’ leaders have told Trump that military action won’t achieve America’s goals with Iran, and they differ on the kind of diplomatic deal the US should pursue, but they share a wariness of renewed hostilities.

    The UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar have improved ties since the UAE’s decision to leave OPEC, and they are coordinating with regional and international partners, including Pakistan, which is mediating between the US and Iran to reach a peace deal.
