The Financial Times reports that the UAE is reopening diplomatic and commercial ties with Iran while simultaneously strengthening defense cooperation with the U.S. and Israel.
The strategy reflects Abu Dhabi’s effort to reduce tensions with Tehran without weakening its security partnerships, balancing economic interests with regional deterrence.
A serious balancing act…

Something interesting is happening.
While Iran has halted its direct attacks, it appears to have shifted pressure to its proxies. Overnight, Iran backed militias in Iraq launched around 20 drones toward Israel, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia.
If this pattern continues, I would not be surprised if Israel eventually strikes the Iran backed militias in Iraq. Keep an eye on this.

Reports indicate that, in Koledyino, as a result of air defense operations, a warehouse belonging to the "3PL" logistics operator that supplies goods to major Russian retail chains was hit. Coincidentally, one of Wildberries' largest warehouses is located right nearby. https://twitter.com/wartranslated/status/2082058251718259063/video/1

Axios reports that senior Trump administration officials believe sustained economic pressure may ultimately inflict more damage on Iran than an expanded bombing campaign, pointing to growing signs of financial strain inside the country.
According to Axios, U.S. officials cite intelligence indicating Iran is struggling to fund proxy forces, facing gasoline shortages, and under increasing financial pressure from sanctions led by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Officials argue those economic measures, combined with a U.S. naval blockade, could prove more effective over time than additional airstrikes.
Axios also reports Iran continues to seek sanctions relief and access to frozen assets through indirect talks mediated by Oman, Qatar, and Pakistan, while the Trump administration insists any agreement must also address Tehran's remaining nuclear material. The report notes President Trump's decision to pause strikes followed military concerns over air defense interceptor stockpiles but says officials characterize those warnings as a risk assessment rather than the primary driver of the decision.

Amazing to watch this instant media rehabilitation of Laura Loomer now that she reveres Ukraine, just like they did with Giorgia Meloni (soon as Meloni showed vehement support for Kiev, she went from "Mussolini-type fascist" to strong, stable, modern-day EU leader with glossy profiles).
In Loomer's case, is it not so glaringly obvious why she suddenly and magically had a "reversal"? Right as reports surface that Russia is supplying Iran with intel and weapons, and now reports of imminent Ukraine/Iran conflict, she starts waving the 🇺🇦. Don't be so gullible. - Glenn Greenwaldtweet
