Ceasefire Fallout: Trump says the US-Iran truce is on “life support” after rejecting Tehran’s latest proposal, while Iran counters that it won’t give up enrichment and is offering dilution plus third-country transport. Hormuz Pressure: Iran and Oman met in Muscat to discuss sovereign rights and safe passage, as Iran’s military posture around the Strait keeps tightening. Gulf Allies Escalate: Reports say the UAE and Saudi Arabia carried out covert strikes on Iran during the wider “Epic Fury” period, with Israel also confirming Iron Dome use to protect the UAE. Mediation Fight: China urged Pakistan to push harder on US-Iran talks to reopen Hormuz, even as Trump and Lindsey Graham publicly question Pakistan’s role. War Costs & Reality Check: A Pentagon official puts the US bill near $29B, while US intelligence cited by NYT suggests Iran has restored access to most missile sites—challenging “decimated” claims. Egypt Finance: Egypt’s investment funds surged to about $7.7B net asset value in Q1 2026, signaling demand despite regional turmoil.
