UAE Nuclear Drone Scare: Saudi and Arab bodies condemned a drone strike that sparked a fire outside the Barakah nuclear plant’s perimeter, with the UAE saying radiological levels were unaffected and investigations are ongoing—another stress test for a shaky US-Iran ceasefire. Trump-Iran Pressure: Hours later, Donald Trump escalated rhetoric, warning Iran the “clock is ticking” and telling it to “get moving” on a deal or face “anything left” consequences, as Israel and the US reportedly weigh possible renewed strikes. Diplomacy Under Strain: Qatar’s PM called Iran’s FM to back de-escalation and defend freedom of navigation, while China-Arab cooperation was postponed due to regional instability. Regional Timing: Saudi Arabia confirmed Dhul Hijjah starts May 18 and Eid al-Adha is May 27, setting the calendar as tensions run high. Other Signals: Cuba reportedly bought 300 attack drones from Russia and Iran, and Iran floated plans to charge fees for Strait of Hormuz traffic.
