PAKISTANI ARMY CHIEF WILL NOT TRAVEL TO TEHRAN TONIGHT: ALARABIYA

A Senior White House official told Diana Nerozzi (politico) that the major sticking points are still:

1. no nuclear weapons
2. opening the Strait of Hormuz

El Niño and Strait of Hormuz exposed commodities

Inflation pressures peak between four and eight months after El Niño’s first hit, so whatever the effects are, they will be felt towards the end of the year and into 2027...

The central message is straightforward. El Niño is not a binary event; it is a spectrum, and the macroeconomic consequences depend critically on where along that spectrum the economy lands. A mild episode would be manageable. A strong or very strong El Niño, by contrast, would generate a meaningful inflation shock across Latin America, with the largest effects concentrated in the Andean region and more persistent dynamics in Brazil.

QATAR HAS SENT A NEGOTIATING TEAM TO TEHRAN, IN COORDINATION WITH THE U.S., TO HELP SECURE A DEAL TO END THE IRAN WAR, SOURCE WITH KNOWLEDGE

Dozens of US warplanes are stationed at Israel’s main civilian airport alongside Israeli military aircraft following a build-up that has continued despite the ceasefire in the two countries’ war with Iran..

By early March roughly 36 tankers were parked at the airport, according to the satellite imagery. During the ceasefire that came into effect in early April, the number rose to 47. As of this week, the FT identified 52 military aircraft parked at the airport.

The much smaller civilian Ramon airport, near the southern tip of the country, has also been used to park military aircraft. Analysis by the FT suggests the airport remained empty in February and March, but since the early April ceasefire at least 10 tankers have been spotted on the tarmac there.

Israel’s Channel 12 News reported this week that there were ongoing talks to allow the refuelling aircraft to remain at Ben Gurion airport until at least the end of 2027
