Tahnoon Breaks from Gulf Consensus: How Abu Dhabi’s Fear of Losses Drove Secret Deals to Protect Its Economy

In a move that exposed growing anxiety inside Abu Dhabi, Tahnoon bin Zayed reportedly pursued a separate and highly confidential track aimed at shielding the UAE from the fallout of a conflict that increasingly threatened its economic foundations. While Gulf states worked through broader regional efforts to contain the crisis, Abu Dhabi focused on securing arrangements tailored to protect its own financial markets, investment networks, and global business reputation. The emerging picture suggests that safeguarding the Emirati economic model became a higher priority than maintaining a unified Gulf approach.

Tahnoon’s role centered on managing discreet contacts with Tehran while leveraging his position as National Security Advisor and overseer of a vast network of sovereign wealth and investment institutions. As the conflict disrupted investor confidence, affected tourism, weakened commercial activity, and raised concerns among international businesses, he reportedly became the leading advocate for reopening communication channels and pursuing pragmatic arrangements designed to limit further damage. Reports point to direct meetings, reciprocal visits, and discussions involving financial and security mechanisms aimed at preventing future attacks and restoring stability.

Evidence of the pressure facing Abu Dhabi emerged through declining investor confidence, reports of foreign professionals temporarily leaving the UAE during the early stages of the conflict, and discussions involving multi-billion-dollar arrangements linked to de-escalation efforts. The developments highlighted the vulnerability of an economic model heavily dependent on foreign capital, tourism, trade, and the perception of security. Rather than waiting for a broader Gulf consensus, Abu Dhabi appeared determined to secure its own protections through separate channels.

The result is a story less about diplomatic success and more about damage control. After years of projecting itself as a confident regional power, Abu Dhabi found itself forced to pursue backchannel understandings to contain the economic consequences of policies that contributed to rising regional tensions. The episode illustrates how economic realities ultimately overpowered political ambitions, forcing a strategic retreat designed to protect the UAE’s business interests from the costs of prolonged confrontation.

I actually don’t care much about the AI race based on nations. The most important AI race is between open source vs centralised, regardless being built by which nation. We are standing at the crossroads of intelligence for all or everyone being extract by handful overlords who want to decide what you can and cannot have. The nation state argument is a distraction.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, in a Bloomberg interview, said the recent India AI Summit was “extremely disorganised”.

He made the remarks after being asked about an on-stage moment involving OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, where the two were seen not holding hands during a staged appearance.

Amodei said the stage instructions were changed at the last minute, with participants suddenly asked to hold hands, contributing to the confusion.

Sick animals

🇧🇦 Wealthy foreigners paid to hunt human beings for sport during the Bosnian war, and one of them is finally being chased down.

The suspect is an Italian aristocrat from a rich Milan family, a weapons obsessive who allegedly paid big money to join Serbian snipers above Sarajevo and shoot civilians for fun.

He bragged about it to friends over dinner more than once.

His ex says he flew in with people who turned into weekend snipers "to kill Muslims," and that he kept tallies of his own kills.

The sickest part is that they reportedly paid north of $90,000 for the trip, with extra fees to shoot children and pregnant women.

More than 10,000 people died from snipers and shelling in Sarajevo between 1992 and 1996.

Magistrates across Europe are now digging in, with a meeting at The Hague set for June 29.

The war ended 30 years ago, but the reckoning never came.

Hello from Germany, where the auto crisis just deepened. BMW has issued a major profit warning, implying a profit drop of >60%. Its EBIT margin is now expected at just 1–3%; a shocking level for a premium automaker that once stood for double-digit profitability. This comes only a day after VW executives reportedly described their own company as facing an existential threat, according to Manager Magazin. BMW is now worth less <€40bn.
