This marks the first known instance of a Russian LNG carrier transiting the Red Sea while openly declaring India as its destination. Typically, these tankers avoid listing any specific destination in their AIS data and ultimately deliver to China.

Chalhoub Group, which runs 900 stores for brands from Versace and Jimmy Choo to Sephora across the region, said its stores in Bahrain were closed, while other markets, including the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan remained open though staff attendance was "voluntary."
E-commerce giant Amazon , opens new tab closed its fulfillment center operations in Abu Dhabi, suspended deliveries across the region and instructed its employees in Saudi Arabia and Jordan to remain indoors, Business Insider reported on Monday, citing an internal memo.
Gucci-owner Kering said its stores were temporarily closed in the UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar and it has suspended travel to the Middle East.
Shares in luxury groups LVMH, Hermes, and Cartier-owner Richemont were down 4% to 5.7% on Monday afternoon as investors digested the knock-on impacts of the conflict.
The Middle East still accounts for a small share of global spending on luxury — between 5% and 10%, according to RBC analyst Piral Dadhania. But the region was "luxury's brightest performer" last year, according to consultancy Bain, while sales of expensive handbags have stalled in the rest of the world.
Now, shuttered airports have put an abrupt stop to tourism flows into the region and missile strikes — including one that damaged Dubai's five-star Fairmont Palm hotel — are likely to dissuade travellers, particularly if the conflict drags on.
"If you assume that it's a $5 to $6 billion (travel retail) market and let's say it's going to be shut down for a month, we are talking about hundreds of millions of dollars that are definitely at risk," said Victor Dijon, senior partner at consultancy Kearney.
If Middle Eastern shoppers cannot travel to Paris or Milan, that could also hurt luxury sales in Europe, he added.

Sean Hannity on Iran: "There are people that say, well, the prime minister of Israel dragged Donald Trump into it...I want to get your reaction to that."

(Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump told NewsNation that you'll find out soon what the retaliation will be in response to an attack on the U.S. embassy in Riyadh and over the deaths of U.S. military personnel during the Iran conflict, a reporter at the media outlet posted on X on Monday, citing an interview with him.
Retaliation? You attacked Iran you clown.

That did not look like a minor fire...

CENTCOM says Strait of Hormuz not closed despite IRGC pronouncement. Iran is not patrolling the strait and no sign yet of it mining the strait.
80 percent of their oil goes to China. To mine the strait would hurt Iran and its key ally.
Then why bring it up….
Everyone knows the stockpiles are low, bringing it up only confirms its getting very low.
@Slavyangrad
🚨🇮🇷 IRAN THREATENS TO BURN SHIPS IN STRAIT OF HORMUZ
Anas Alhajji warns Iran’s strikes on Gulf oil facilities and threats to close Hormuz push markets onto a “slippery slope” toward a major energy crisis.
He says 14 to 15 million barrels per day flow from the Gulf, but 33% of globally traded fertilizers also pass through the region, raising the risk of a wider food crisis.
Alhajji notes there is enough oil in the short run due to stockpiles and preemptive exports, but warns “what's going to happen next? That's where the problem is.”

A very violent explosion resulting from a direct hit by a suicide bomber has shaken the American base in Erbil.
Iraqis are inspecting the crashed American kamikaze drone LUCAS, equipped with Starlink.
@Slavyangrad
Don’t let these liars change the narrative. Remember their stated objective was:
Regime change or Surrender
They said it would be over in days and the Iranians would rise up.

'WE’RE THE GOOD GUYS!' — Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu on Iran
'We’re fighting the bad guys… Iran is like 50 North Koreas — committed to your destruction'
The dude facing arrest for genocide is the good guy? Plus instead of Trump there is a foreign president explaining to Americans why they are at war. Utter insanity
@Slavyangrad
Netanyahu: Iran poses a danger fifty times greater than North Korea.

Watters: Do you and the President care who runs the country?
Vance: Whatever happens with the regime in one form or another, it's incidental to the president's primary objective here, which is to make sure the Iranian terrorist regime does not build a nuclear bomb
US now pretending they didn’t say regime change or total surrender was their objective. Sounds like an admission of defeat…

The Economic Consequences of War in Iran.
My first data dive on the extraordinary events in the Gulf.
On chokepoints, oil & gas giants, and the reason a drone strike on a plant most people have never heard of thousands of miles away could plunge Europe back into energy crisis
1. 🇰🇼 Ali Al-Salem Airbase, Kuwait
2. 🇶🇦 Al-Udeid Airbase, Qatar
3. 🇧🇭 Naval Support Facility, Bahrain
All three hammered by Iranian ballistic missile and drone strikes.
