Last update: 10 hours ago

Gulf Flashpoints: Kuwait says Iran’s IRGC tried to infiltrate Bubiyan Island on May 1, detaining four men after a hostile attempt—while the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed and oil prices jump again as ceasefire talks stay “on life support.” Covert Escalation: Reports also claim the UAE carried out unacknowledged strikes on Iran, including an attack on the Lavan Island refinery in early April, adding fuel to a wider Gulf security shift. Defense Costs & Readiness: The Pentagon puts the Iran war’s price tag at about $29bn, mostly repairs and replacements, as lawmakers press for the endgame. Local Tech & Society: Kuwait’s Supreme Judicial Council bans junior legal prosecutors from appearing in media. Health & Services: Kuwait University Hospital’s Heart Center gets an inspection by Education and Health ministers. Business/People: Zain Kuwait backs employee wellbeing through leadership training. Regional Infrastructure: Bahrain launches a tender for Phase 1 of the Shaikh Jaber Al Ahmed Al Sabah Highway upgrade.
