Middle East Flashpoint: U.S. President Donald Trump says he was “an hour away” from ordering fresh strikes on Iran, but postponed them after Tehran submitted another peace proposal via Pakistan—while warning a new “big hit” could come within days if no deal is reached. Ceasefire Pressure on Lebanon: The Lebanon death toll from Israeli attacks has topped 3,000 as strikes continue despite negotiations, and Hezbollah’s drone capability is again in the spotlight, with reports claiming it has paralyzed much of Israel’s planned operations. Sanctions & Finance: Washington hit an Iran-based exchange network and 19 vessels tied to a shadow fleet, tightening pressure as talks drag on. Business & Infrastructure: Lebanon is moving forward with a tender awarding Sky Lounges Services the operation and investment of René Mouawad Airport in Qlayaat—aimed at easing pressure on Beirut’s airport and boosting northern jobs and tourism. Energy Markets: Oil prices slipped after Trump paused the Iran attack, reflecting how quickly regional risk is feeding into costs.
