    More than 210,000 people in Thailand have appealed their state welfare card eligibility following a revision of vehicle ownership rules. The government's tighter screening left about 3.7 million existing beneficiaries without benefits, prompting the revision. The Cabinet has since revised the criteria for motorcycles and cars, and authorities are working to restore benefits for those who now qualify without additional appeals.

    Gulf Nations Rethink Oil Export Routes Amid Hormuz Strait Disruptions

    Persistent disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz have prompted Gulf oil-producing countries to accelerate plans for pipelines that can bypass the narrow waterway. The Strait remains the most important route for global oil trade, but tensions in the region have led countries like Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Iraq to explore alternative export routes. Saudi Arabia has increased its East-West Pipeline capacity to 7 million barrels per day, while the UAE plans to double its export capacity through Fujairah port by 2027. Iraq is also reviving a pipeline project to connect its oil fields to the Mediterranean coast. Kuwait and Bahrain are considering connecting to Saudi Arabia's pipeline network.

    Trump Vows to 'Keep Hitting' Iran, Loses Faith in Talks

    President Trump, during a cabinet meeting at Camp David, stated that the US will continue striking Iran 'very hard' and expressed losing faith in negotiations with Iran after the country launched missiles at US forces in Jordan during talks. Trump accused Iran of lying and misrepresenting, saying 'all they do is make me angry.' Despite this, he confirmed that negotiations continue with intermediaries. The conflict, now in its fifth month, has seen no clear diplomatic progress, with both sides accusing the other of breaking promises.

    Iran's Stance on Strait of Hormuz Dispute

    Senior former security officials and analysts argue that Iran's actions in the Strait of Hormuz are not merely due to internal political disputes but rather a strategic response to U.S. policies. They contend that Iran seeks to impose costs on commercial shipping and the global economy to demonstrate the price of continued confrontation. Despite internal debates, there's broad consensus among Iranian leaders that Iran cannot retreat or surrender under military pressure. The war is likely to end if the U.S. accepts Iran's main conditions, including its interpretation of maritime arrangements and lifting the naval blockade.
