- US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Southeast Asian foreign ministers on Wednesday that Iranian control of the Strait of Hormuz would set a dangerous precedent with repercussions beyond the Middle East.
His comments came as US Central Command said it had begun striking military targets in Iran for the "11th consecutive night" in a bid to degrade the country's ability to threaten commercial shipping in the waterway.
"There is a fundamental principle about freedom of navigation that is threatened." - Rubio

- Sharjah has introduced a firefighting motorcycle to speed up emergency response.
Designed to navigate heavy traffic, the new bike allows Civil Defence teams to reach fire scenes faster and begin initial firefighting measures before larger fire engines arrive.
The initiative is part of Sharjah's broader push to strengthen fire safety, especially during the summer months when soaring temperatures increase the risk of fires caused by overloaded electrical systems and air-conditioning units.
Alongside the new motorcycle, authorities are stepping up inspections of fire safety systems and continuing projects to upgrade buildings with
fire-resistant materials.

From fake chalet rentals and unbelievable travel deals to sophisticated AI-driven impersonations, authorities are issuing urgent warnings to the public to stay vigilant.
According to the UAE Cyber Security Council, more than 75 per cent of cyber breaches in the country originate from phishing emails and fraudulent messages, with attackers deploying an estimated 3.4 billion phishing messages globally every day.
The council has further warned that AI-driven phishing now accounts for more than 90 per cent of digital breaches, as scammers craft messages that appear almost perfectly authentic, eliminating traditional warning signs.

- As the US-Iran conflict escalated, the Strait of Hormuz, through which around 20% of the world's energy supplies pass, became one of the world's most critical maritime flashpoints.
From attacks on commercial ships and soaring oil prices to competing claims over who has the authority to regulate one of the world's busiest shipping routes, the battle over Hormuz has sent shockwaves through global trade.
While international law protects the right of "innocent passage," Iran insists it has the right to regulate traffic through the waterway, while the US argues no country can impose restrictions or fees on international shipping.
With tensions continuing, countries across the Gulf, including the UAE, have accelerated alternative trade routes through Fujairah and Khor Fakkan to keep goods moving.
