Trump’s latest Oman threats, the US government’s fabricated figures and constantly changing goalposts continue to show that the US is desperate and not in control of the Iran war

Saudi Arabia announces intention to set up military coalition to protect Red Sea shipping.

Founding 14: Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Yemen, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Sudan, Djibouti, Somalia.

Notable: No UAE or Oman

(1/2)

Which brings me to the number that actually matters: the cost-math. With Hormuz and the Red Sea both disrupted, shipping companies are staring down in excess of $4 million in additional costs. Here's the breakdown: https://t.co/GuvycLcuX7

It's been a busy few days on the war front. Over the weekend (and spilling into this week), the Houthis hit Saudi oil facilities - the first such attack since the 2022 truce. The damage itself isn't the headline here. It's why this happened that matters https://t.co/f5h1GqaBuC

Meanwhile, Oman's been busy playing mediator-in-chief. Their pitch: a Gulf-backed plan giving 50% control of the Strait of Hormuz to Iran and retaining the rest, plus a voluntary toll system inspired by the Malacca Strait. Iran said "hard pass." Read here https://t.co/m5tdbmhJyK

In the midst of the biggest energy security crisis that the world has ever seen Saudi Arabia’s energy minister Prince Abdulaziz has been silent, and what he says is a sign of being humble to admit that he doesn’t know what will happen next. “Being silent is a form of talking”

Love this accurate and studied take on Saudi's decisions to build or shelve projects-a deeply knowledgeable, accurate and fair perspective. Read until the end for a roster of what works and why in Saudi. To Western journalists: must read.

To @NaguibSawiris
Theres a big chance you wont see this, but theres a good chance you might and its definitely worth a shot.
I’m one of the people that fell victim to MONIIFY.
The carnage that happened. The shutting down of the entire newsroom, and in a couple of hours we were made redundant.
Now to be fair, the idea is great, the vision is immaculate, and the ethos is unique. Diving deep into emerging markets and like you said ‘go into places that nobody wants to go to ” is top tier advice. We took your vision and turned it into reality, with that MONIIFY was born. We are the people behind this, we are the people behind the voice of MONIIFY, we are the people that laid the groundwork, we are the people who beat media tycoons at their best game, we are the people that made MONIIFY second to none.
Our stories were refined, articulate, and powerful, they made MONIIFY shine and they’re what made you speak highly of it.
The same group of people who left stable jobs and moved continents to come and join a company we didn’t even know the name of, thats how big the leap of faith was. Thats how much we trusted your name.
I might not know much, but i have never seen a more competent group of people come together. From our youngest to our oldest, all with an exceptional journalistic skillset and most importantly, like you always say, hard work mentality.
We delivered and you failed to reciprocate.
Naguib, not only have you let us down, but you also just lost world class talent.

So #Tupperware went bankrupt because the products were so good that people didn't feel the need to buy new ones as they lasted a lifetime.

I feel like there's a lesson here but just can't figure what. Anybody?

Prevention might have been better than cure for the #Trump Derangement Syndrome eh?

Silver lining - #Trump is great for journalists and those of us in media. He keeps us in business.
