Kuwait Under Fire: Kuwait reported Iranian strikes hitting power and water desalination plants and said its air defences intercepted drones/missiles, underscoring how quickly critical infrastructure risk is turning into an economic and energy issue. Energy Markets: Oil pushed to six-week highs near $92 as Strait of Hormuz tensions persisted and Red Sea risks rose after Houthis threatened shipping and Saudi tankers reportedly turned back. Red Sea Shipping Shock: The Bab al-Mandeb threat adds pressure to global trade routes, with insurers and markets watching for any further disruption beyond Hormuz. Kuwait Diplomacy: Kuwait urged UN action on transitional justice and missing persons in Syria, calling for clearer fates and stronger mechanisms. Local Business/Finance: Zain Group pledged $10m to Kuwait’s Emergency Response Fund, while KUFPEC said it is exploring expansion in Pakistan’s upstream energy sector. Fact Check: A viral video falsely linked to Kuwait’s power-plant attack was traced to an older incident in Jordan.
