2. Natalie Econo from the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (FDD) explains why Qatar has been recommended for the Special Watch List (SWL) for religious freedom violations. She notes that while the U.S. views Qatar as a major non-NATO ally and mediator, the country continues to host Hamas and the Taliban. The designation serves as a warning that Qatar's adherence to religious freedom and speech—illustrated by the persecution of a Baha'i leader—is not meeting U.S. criteria. (2)1904 DOHA

C dans l'air du 10 mars 2026 - Pétrole : la flambée qui fait peur à TrumpLa guerre est « quasiment finie », a affirmé Donald Trump hier lors de sa première conférence de presse depuis le début de l'opération américaine-israélienne en Iran. « Une petite incursion », a-t-il dit, et tant pis s'il contredit le Pentagone, qui a écrit sur son compte X que « le combat ne fait que commencer ». « Ils n'ont plus de marine, plus de moyens de communication, plus d'armée de l'air. Leurs missiles sont dispersés. Leurs drones sont détruits de toutes parts, y compris leurs usines de fabrication. Si vous regardez bien, il ne leur reste plus rien. Militairement, il ne leur reste plus rien », a détaillé le président américain.Les propos de Donald Trump ont fait instantanément chuter les cours de l'or noir, qui flambaient depuis le matin, et remonter les marchés. Mais pour combien de temps ? Alors que les bombardements israéliens se poursuivent sur l'Iran, Téhéran a promis que plus aucune goutte de pétrole ne sortirait du Moyen-Orient « jusqu'à nouvel ordre ». Les efforts « pour réduire et contrôler le prix du pétrole et du gaz seront ponctuels et vains. En temps de guerre, le commerce est tributaire de la sécurité régionale », a ajouté le porte-parole des Gardiens de la Révolution. « L'Iran n'a pas peur de vos menaces vides. Des plus puissants que vous ont essayé d'éliminer la nation iranienne et n'ont pas réussi. Faites attention à ne pas être éliminé vous-même ! », a écrit Ali Larijani, le chef du Conseil suprême de sécurité nationale iranien. Le ministre des Affaires étrangères iranien a averti de son côté que Téhéran « déciderait de la fin de la guerre » et que les forces armées iraniennes étaient prêtes « à poursuivre les frappes de missiles (…) aussi longtemps que nécessaire et chaque fois que cela sera nécessaire ». Plusieurs explosions ont eu lieu aujourd'hui à Doha, au Qatar, à Abou Dhabi ou contre les Kurdes iraniens.« Si l'Iran devait arrêter les flux de pétrole du détroit d'Ormuz, il serait attaqué encore vingt fois plus fort », a répliqué dans l'après-midi le secrétaire à la guerre américain Pete Hegseth. L'ONU, de son côté, a dit son inquiétude quant aux conséquences économiques des perturbations du trafic maritime dans cette artère essentielle pour le commerce mondial de l'énergie et mis en garde contre les effets de cette situation sur les marchés internationaux et, en particulier, sur les pays en développement.Lundi, depuis le porte-avions Charles-de-Gaulle, posté au large de la Crète, le président de la République avait affirmé que la France se préparait à un conflit au Moyen-Orient susceptible de « durer ». Il avait également annoncé que la France préparait une mission « purement défensive » pour « rouvrir » le détroit d'Ormuz.Alors quelle est la stratégie américaine ? Le régime iranien a-t-il vraiment les moyens de bloquer durablement ce passage clé du commerce mondial ? La marine française dans le détroit d'Ormuz ? Que sait-on du nouveau guide suprême Mojtaba Khamenei ? Quelle est la situation au Liban ?Experts :- Général Dominique TRINQUAND - Ancien chef de la mission militaire française auprès de l'ONU, auteur de « D'un monde à l'autre »- Lucas MENGET - Grand reporter, spécialiste des relations internationales- Isabelle LASSERRE - Correspondante diplomatique - Le Figaro - Alexandra SCHWARTZBROD - Directrice adjointe de la rédaction – Libération, co-auteure de Les pins de Rechmaya - Sonia DRIDI (Duplex à Washington) - Correspondante aux États-Unis - LCI et France 24

Il ne faut pas s'emballer, certes ! Mais au regard de ce début d'année 2026, il semblerait que le fossé se creuse entre Carlos Alcaraz et Jannik Sinner. L'Espagnol a remporté pour la première fois de sa carrière l'Open d'Australie pendant que l'Italien était stoppé par Novak Djokovic en demi-finale. Une défaite face au Serbe qui n'était plus arrivé depuis 2023 ! À Doha, la première finale entre les deux hommes était programmé d'avance, mais Sinner a encore été stoppé par Mensik. Pendant ce temps-là, Carlitos enchaînait les victoires. Douze succès de suite pour s'offrir Doha en plus de l'Australian Open. Au classement ATP, Alcaraz comptait 550 points d'avance au 1er janvier… Cette avance s'est accentuée de manière significative puisqu'il compte désormais 2700 points d'avance. Alors que la tournée sur terre battue approche à grands pas, on se pose la question de savoir si Sinner perd du terrain sur Alcaraz.Ce podcast est hébergé par Podcastics, la plateforme pour créer et diffuser votre podcast facilement.

Edwin, Scott, Ben, and Zach share firsthand accounts from friends and colleagues across Dubai, Kuwait, Doha, Beirut, and beyond — a sobering reminder that hospitality often becomes both refuge and frontline in moments of crisis. From bombed airports to stranded travelers to terrified interns far from home, the conversation grounds the industry in what matters most: people caring for people. From there, the episode pivots hard into one of the biggest questions facing travel right now: what happens when AI stops being a novelty and starts becoming the interface? The panel unpacks Skift's “Claude Effect” thesis — the idea that travel may be next in line for the same investor panic and business-model disruption already hitting legal, finance, and cybersecurity. Ben argues the OTAs are in the blast zone. Scott says the markets always overreact — but something big is clearly coming. Edwin drops a scorching hot take: the real endgame may not be Booking vs. Expedia, but an AI giant partnering with or buying one of them outright. The back half of the episode tackles hotel brand sprawl and whether the industry has finally reached a saturation point. Are soft brands actually helping, or have they become watered-down middle children that confuse consumers and dilute meaning? The crew debates whether AI-powered discovery will make “brand count” irrelevant and force hotel groups to compete on clarity, trust, and true personalization instead. Finally, the episode closes with a fascinating look at Kimpton, one of the rare boutique brands that seems to have scaled without completely losing its soul after acquisition. Scott and Edwin explain why Kimpton has worked when so many others have failed: separate teams, protected identity, and the discipline to let the back-end scale quietly without flattening the front-end experience. Oh, and in true This Week in Hospitality fashion, the episode wraps with a spicy final challenge for the industry: if you're a travel executive talking about AI but not personally using it every day, what exactly are you leading?   This Week in Hospitality is presented to you by Journey.

US-Präsident Donald Trump will offenbar kurdische Separatisten gegen das iranische Regime in Stellung bringen. Die Folgen könnten katastrophal sein. Seit gut einer Woche greifen das israelische und das US-amerikanische Militär Ziele in Iran an. Schätzungen zufolge sollen dabei Hunderte Zivilisten ums Leben gekommen sein. Zugleich ist von mehr als tausend zerstörten militärischen Einrichtungen die Rede. Auch jenseits der unmittelbaren Frontlinien ist der Krieg längst angekommen: Dubai, Doha und Riad leiden unter iranischem Beschuss. In dieser ohnehin brandgefährlichen Situation platzt nun eine neue Wendung, die alles noch unberechenbarer macht. US-Präsident Donald Trump soll den Kurden im Irak angeboten haben, sie zu bewaffnen. Das Ziel? Einen Aufstand in Iran entfachen. In dieser Ausgabe von »Acht Milliarden« spricht Host Juan Moreno mit Maximilian Popp, stellvertretender Leiter des SPIEGEL-Auslandsressorts. Allein die Andeutung, man könne eine innere Destabilisierung als Kriegsinstrument nutzen, wirft eine zentrale Frage auf: Wie gefährlich wäre es, einen Bürgerkrieg in Iran bewusst zu befeuern?

The rapidly escalating conflict in the Middle East is now sending shockwaves through global aviation, with major airspace closures and key international travel hubs suddenly out of action. So what does it mean for Australians planning to travel overseas? In this episode, Natarsha Belling is joined by aviation expert Professor Ron Bartsch, who explains why this disruption could be the most significant to hit global travel since COVID. With major Middle Eastern airline hubs like Dubai, Doha and Abu Dhabi affected, airlines are scrambling to reroute flights through Asia -- triggering delays, reduced capacity and the likelihood of soaring airfares.

The House fails to pass the ROTOR Act, and the competing ALERT Act is introduced. The military is shooting down drones with a laser, combat action in the Middle East is disrupting commercial flights, former President Biden flies commercial, Breeze Airways continues to expand, and United adds a new passenger requirement to its Contract of Carriage. Plus, more feedback on the Lockheed Constellation, and the passion for flying. Aviation News U.S. House rejects aviation safety bill after Pentagon abruptly withdraws support When we talked about the ROTOR Act last week, we explained that the Senate unanimously passed the bill requiring ADS-B In and that a House vote was scheduled. Before the House vote, the Pentagon withdrew its support, saying that the bill could create “unresolved budgetary burdens and operational security risks.” The bill failed to meet the required two-thirds majority: 264 in favor and 133 opposed, with more than 130 Republicans voting against it. Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Ala., the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said, “This bill will undermine our national security. Requiring our fighters and bombers and highly classified assets to regularly broadcast their location puts our men and women in uniform at risk.” Rep. Sam Graves, R-Mo., the chairman of the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee, called the ROTOR Act an “unworkable government mandate” that would be “burdensome” to some pilots. ALERT Act Aviation Safety Bill Introduced in U.S. House . Graves and Rogers put their support behind their own bipartisan bill, known as the ALERT Act, or Airspace Location and Enhanced Risk Transparency Act. It is broader, more process‑driven, and relies more on future FAA rulemaking. The ROTOR Act uses mandates and concentrates on collision‑avoidance and traffic‑awareness, especially mandatory ADS‑B In equipage for aircraft operating near airports, plus related airspace reviews and military‑civil coordination.​ The ALERT Act uses rulemaking to implement essentially all ~50 NTSB recommendations from the DCA midair, including tech, ATC staffing/training, helicopter routes, DCA‑specific procedures, and FAA safety culture reforms. Military Laser Downs CBP Drone, Tiny TFR Established When Federal Agencies Start Shooting at Each Other's Drones, We Have a Real Airspace Problem The Defence Department has a laser weapon that can shoot down drones. Recently, a TFR closed the airspace in El Paso due to a drone downing. Now, Congress has been briefed that along the Mexican border at Fort Hancock, Texas, a Defense Department laser weapon shot down a Customs and Border Protection drone. In response, the FAA issued a TFR for that area. In a statement, three lawmakers said, “Our heads are exploding over the news that DoD reportedly shot down a Customs and Border Protection drone using a high-risk counter-unmanned aircraft system.” Also, “We said MONTHS ago that the White House's decision to sidestep a bipartisan, tri-committee bill to appropriately train C-UAS operators and address the lack of coordination between the Pentagon, DHS and the FAA was a short-sighted idea. Now, we're seeing the result of its incompetence.” Hundreds of thousands of travelers stranded by flight disruptions after attack on Iran Military combat in Iran and the surrounding region has forced the diversion and cancellation of flights. Airspace was closed by Israel, Qatar, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, and Bahrain. The United Arab Emirates announced a “temporary and partial closure” of its airspace. Reportedly, hundreds of thousands of travelers were impacted and either stranded or diverted to other airports. Important hub airports in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Doha were closed. Emirates, Qatar Airways, and Etihad typically move about 90,000 passengers per day through those hubs. Three US Fighter Jets Accidentally Shot Down by Kuwaiti Air Defenses On 1 March 2026, three USAF F‑15E Strike Eagles were shot down over Kuwait by Kuwaiti air-defense systems during combat operations against Iran. U.S. Central Command described it as an apparent friendly‑fire incident; all six crew members ejected and were recovered.

Richard Joseph Carrión habló en 6AM W a propósito de los ataques de Irán contra Arabia Saudí, Kuwait y Qatar como respuesta a la ofensiva de Estados Unidos e Israel en Oriente Próximo.

Ce jeudi 5 mars, c'est jour de vote au Népal. Un scrutin décisif, près de six mois après le soulèvement historique de la jeunesse, mais une élection qui se heurte aussi à la guerre qui fait rage au Moyen-Orient. Dans un pays au chômage des jeunes très élevé, des millions de Népalais sont partis travailler dans les pays du Golfe. Mais depuis l'attaque américaine et israélienne sur l'Iran et la riposte iranienne, les proches de ces travailleurs népalais vivent dans la peur. De notre envoyé spécial à Katmandou,  À Katmandou, les vidéos filmées par des Népalais inquiets montrant les interceptions de missiles dans le ciel de Doha, Dubaï ou Abou Dhabi défilent sur les portables. 1,7 million de Népalais travaillent légalement dans les pays du Golfe, bien plus dans la réalité. Dans certains villages, chaque famille a un proche expatrié au Moyen-Orient. Susma Baral revient tout juste des Émirats arabes unis, elle nous accueille dans sa maison. « Avec mon mari, nous sommes partis, car ici on ne pouvait pas s'offrir de vraie maison, notre situation financière était trop précaire, raconte-t-elle. Comme c'est l'aîné de la famille, il doit aussi assurer la charge financière pour ses frères et sœurs… » Enceinte de sept mois, elle est rentrée pour accoucher au Népal, aux Émirats arabes unis, les factures de santé étaient trop élevées. Son mari, Bibik Dhakal, est encore sur place. « Quand je vois tout ce qui se passe là-bas, sur les réseaux sociaux, dans les médias internationaux, ça m'inquiète énormément... J'ai peur que les missiles tombent sur son appartement, son quartier. À cause de cela, je ne dors plus depuis trois nuits », se désole-t-elle.  Et elle l'appelle chaque jour : « J'ai entendu les explosions, je n'ai pas vu de missiles en train de descendre dans le ciel, mais j'ai vu la fumée après qu'ils soient tombés au sol », témoigne son mari au téléphone.  À lire aussiÀ Dubaï, la peur de ressortissants africains: «On voit les missiles interceptés qui viennent d'Iran» « La peur les tient éveillés » Depuis la banlieue de Katmandou, son épouse reste connectée avec la communauté de travailleurs népalais. Pour l'association Shramik Sanjal, elle anime des émissions en direct sur les réseaux sociaux. Elle répond aux questions, et les informe de l'évolution du conflit. « Je parle avec beaucoup de travailleurs népalais au Moyen-Orient. Ces trois/quatre derniers jours ont été particulièrement durs. Ils sont réveillés par les bruits des missiles et des interceptions. Même lorsqu'ils essaient de s'endormir, ils n'y arrivent pas, la peur les tient éveillés. » Susma travaille dans l'enseignement et son mari est analyste alimentaire. Le couple se dit chanceux par rapport aux Népalais qu'ils connaissent sur place, car ils occupent des emplois extrêmement précaires dans l'hôtellerie, l'agriculture, la construction ou la restauration. « Ils ont peur, ils passent leur temps à regarder des vidéos en direct, ils ne mangent pas, décrit Bibik Dhakal. Ils n'ont aucun choix. Ils n'ont pas leur passeport, c'est leur employeur, ou quelqu'un d'autre, qui le détient… Ensuite, ils n'ont pas d'argent pour partir… » Ces travailleurs envoient chaque mois une grande partie de leur salaire à leurs proches, gardant le strict minimum. Ces transferts d'argent représentent un quart du PIB du Népal. C'est un sacrifice vital pour l'économie, mais qui ne leur offre pas de droits civiques. Tous ces travailleurs ne peuvent participer au scrutin de ce jeudi 5 mars : le vote dans les ambassades ou consulats à l'étranger n'est pas autorisé au Népal.  À lire aussiFrappes contre l'Iran: le dilemme des alliés américains du Golfe entraînés dans le conflit

Selon les chiffres du ministère des Affaires étrangères, environ 400.000 Français sont bloqués au Moyen-Orient depuis cinq jours. Une situation causée par la fermeture de nombreux aéroports internationaux dans la région, comme ceux de Doha, Dubaï ou encore Abu Dhabi. S'il y a un certain nombre d'expatriés ou d'influenceurs, certains étaient simplement en vacances ou en escale pour le travail. La guerre ayant éclatée un week-end, des Français sur le retour ont peut-être, malgré eux, fait faux bond à leur employeur. Les vacances scolaires étant encore une réalité pour la zone C, le problème pourrait bien se poser dans les prochains jours pour certains. Un salarié qui ne peut pas reprendre le travail car il est bloqué à l'étranger risque-t-il une sanction de son employeur ?Hébergé par Audiomeans.

There is, as a wise journalist (no, not us, we said "wise") has pointed out, always an aviation angle. As Iranian bombs rained down across the Gulf following strikes by the US and Israel, countries like the UAE and Qatar suddenly found themselves uncomfortably less insulated than they thought, with even airports in Dubai and Abu Dhabi being damaged in the crossfire. Unfortunately, these countries also happen to be major global aviation hubs, and thousands of flights over the past few days have been cancelled, leaving passengers stranded – which raises the question: in the wake of the chaos, will cautious flyers start avoiding Europe flights through places like Dubai, Doha and Abu Dhabi in favour of less volatile hubs like Singapore and Hong Kong? On this week's Australian Aviation Podcast, Jake and guest host Bethany Alvaro examine the Iran conflict's impact on aviation and ask whether Australian airlines and travellers have put too many of their eggs in the Gulf's basket. Plus, half-yearly results are out for airlines on both sides of the Tasman – which carriers had a better six months than the others?

C'est un record qui date de 2011, Novak Djokovic avait attaqué cette saison par 41 victoires de suite ! Des débuts fracassants avec une victoire à l'Open d'Australie avant des succès au Double Sunshine à Indian Wells et Miami. Mais c'est bien lors de la saison sur terre battue qu'il surprend tout le monde avec des victoires à Madrid et à Rome où il bat pour la première fois Rafael Nadal. Sa première défaite de la saison interviendra le 3 juin en demi-finale à Paris face à Roger Federer.Qui a la capacité de battre ce record fou ? Peut-être Carlos Alcaraz, qui joue ne manière fantastique depuis le début de saison. Une première victoire à L'Open d'Australie puis à Doha avant d'attaquer le Double Sunshine. Mais Carlitos n'est qu'à 12 victoires de suite actuellement. Il va lui falloir conserver sa régularité, son génie et son invincibilité pour se rapprocher au maximum du record de Djoko. Peut-il le faire ? On en débat dans "Sans Filet". Ce podcast est hébergé par Podcastics, la plateforme pour créer et diffuser votre podcast facilement.

Il conflitto tra Stati Uniti, Israele e Iran ha portato alla chiusura di ampie porzioni dello spazio aereo nel Medio Oriente. Hub come Dubai, Abu Dhabi e Doha hanno sospeso o fortemente limitato i voli, con pesanti ripercussioni sui collegamenti internazionali, compresi quelli tra Europa e Australia.

Stephen Grootes speaks to Pieter Engelbrecht, CEO of the Shoprite Group, about Shoprite’s resilient half‑year showing, unpacking how stronger festive‑season demand, tight price inflation control, and the explosive 34.6% growth of Sixty60 helped drive a 7.2% rise in sales, higher headline earnings and an uplift in dividends despite a tougher trading environment. In other interviews, Guy Leitch, aviation analyst and editor of SA Flyer Magazine talks about the escalating impact of the Middle East conflict on the global airline industry. With thousands of flights cancelled, key Gulf hubs such as Dubai, Doha and Abu Dhabi temporarily closed, and hundreds of thousands of passengers stranded worldwide, the crisis marks the most severe aviation disruption since the Covid-19 pandemic.

It is day three of the U.S. Israeli war with Iran as the fighting widens with Tehran launching retaliatory attacks across the Middle East, and Israel trading fire with Hezbollah in Lebanon.President Trump says the strikes will continue “at full force” and warns Americans there will likely be more U.S. casualties, as the White House still hasn't spelled out the war's objectives or how long it could last.And Iran's retaliation is hitting America's Gulf partners hard, with missiles and drones turning places like Doha, Bahrain and Dubai into battle zones.Want more analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun? Subscribe to the Up First newsletter.Today's episode of Up First was edited by James Hider, Tina Kraya, Anna Yukhananov, Miguel Macias, Mohamad ElBardicy, and Alice Woelfle.It was produced by Ziad Buchh and Nia Dumas.Our director is Christopher Thomas.We get engineering support from Zo van Ginhoven.

As the US-Israel conflict with Iran intensifies, concerns grow over its effects on Africa, including the security and economic impacts. Thousands of Africans working or traveling in Gulf cities like Dubai, UAE, and Doha, Qatar, are already facing disruptions, with some reportedly stranded at airports. Meanwhile, several African countries have called for urgent de-escalation to prevent the crisis from worsening.At the same time, Ghana has removed Kotoka's name from its airport, restoring it to Accra International Airport. The government says national monuments should reflect democracy, not coups. The decision has sparked debate among Ghanaians, coming sixty years after a military coup that reshaped the country's political history.Presenter: Nkechi Ogbonna Producer: Ayuba Iliya, Keikantse Shumba and Godwin Asediba Technical Producer: Jonathan Mwangi Senior Producers: Bella Twine and Blessing Aderogba Editors: Samuel Murunga and Maryam Abdalla

//The Wire//1800Z March 2, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: TERROR ATTACK STRIKES TEXAS. GULF WAR CONTINUES IN MIDDLE EAST AS IRANIAN FORCES STRIKE AMERICAN BASES AND OIL FIELDS. MULTIPLE AMERICAN AIRCRAFT SHOT DOWN IN FRIENDLY FIRE INCIDENTS. QATAR SHOOTS DOWN TWO IRANIAN FIGHTERS OVER PERSIAN GULF.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----  -International Events-Middle East: The Gulf War continues to expand, with nearly every nation throughout the region being involved as airstrikes and drone/missile attacks remain regular around the clock.Kuwait: This morning, three separate American F-15E's were shot down due to alleged friendly fire incidents after allegedly being engaged by Kuwaiti air defense systems. All six pilots and weapons officers ejected and were rescued from the desert by Kuwaiti forces.Analyst Comment: This situation was rather dicey as local Kuwaitis on the ground initially thought that the Americans parachuting down were Iranians. This is possibly due to the American parachutes from the ACES II ejection seats being in the standard colors of Orange, White, and Green (which has been a standard for a long time). Unfortunately, this also looks very similar to the colors of the Iranian flag as it's descending on a residential neighborhood. As a result, several Kuwaitis responded to the crash site with weapons drawn, until it became clear that they were Americans. After the Americans were identified, they were protected and rendered aid until they were recovered safely back to American lines.Saudi Arabia: Most of the targeting efforts by the Iranians have focused on hitting oil infrastructure. This morning, the Ras Tanura refinery was been shut down completely following Iranian drone strikes, which halts roughly 16% of Saudi Arabia's total oil production capacity.Qatar: All Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) production has been halted due to Iranian strikes, and the airport in Doha remains closed at the moment. This morning Qatari forces downed two Iranian Su-24 fighters which were sortied to conduct targeting within their nation.Analyst Comment: If this report is accurate, this would be the first indication that the Iranians still maintain some limited air combat power, even though the runways at most of their airports have been cratered.UAE: In the Emirates, Iranian forces have been hitting Dubai and Abu Dhabi hard over the past two days. Power plants, oil terminals, and other energy infrastructure have been targeted, along with more military targets. The French Naval Base in Abu Dhabi was hit by Iranian munitions, and the fires have been burning overnight.Bahrain: The semi-former headquarters of the US Navy's 5th Fleet has been heavily damaged, with a significant portion of the base being completely destroyed. This morning, Iranian forces struck an American strategic oil tanker, the M/T STENA IMPERATIVE, as she was sitting in port.Cyprus: The British Airbase at Akrotiri Airport has been targeted by Iranian missiles/drones several times over the past two days, with heavy smoke being reported at the installation sporadically yesterday afternoon.Israel: Substantial targeting efforts continue by the Iranians, with many ballistic missile strikes being carried out overnight. Rocket attacks by Hezbollah cells in Lebanon continue, with the IDF conducting several airstrikes in downtown Beirut in response yesterday evening.Regarding civilian infrastructure in the Middle East, most major airports throughout the entire region are closed for flights, most notably Kuwait International, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Bahrain. Right now, the main logistical hub for citizens fleeing the region is Riyadh, however the Saudis stated overnight that King Khalid International Airport was targeted by Iran. The ballistic missiles were successfully intercepted, but the window for evacuations throughout much of the region is probably clo

The conflict has caused the closure of shipping lanes, with up to a fifth of global energy and as much as a third of other commercial shipping impacted.Thousands of flights have also been suspended, with airports as well as refineries the target of Iranian attacks.We get reaction to the latest developments.(Picture: A traveller looks at a departures board displaying a cancelled Qatar Airways flight for Doha, amid the U.S.-Israel war with Iran, at Terminal 8 at John F.

C dans l'air du 2 mars 2026 - Guerre en Iran : la dangereuse escaladeL'Iran et maintenant le Liban. Au troisième jour de l'opération militaire américano-israélienne contre le régime des mollahs, l'armée israélienne continue de mener, ce lundi, des frappes « à grande échelle » sur Téhéran et vise également le Hezbollah libanais, qui, pour la première fois dans le conflit, a tiré sur Israël, en représailles à l'assassinat du guide suprême iranien Ali Khamenei. Des bombardements ont eu lieu sur la capitale ainsi qu'en périphérie sud, alors que le ministre israélien de la Défense, Israël Katz, a affirmé ce lundi que le chef du Hezbollah finirait « au fin fond de l'enfer ».En Iran, où les attaques de missiles se poursuivent et ont frappé des immeubles d'habitation, le régime des mollahs, même affaibli, riposte : Abou Dhabi, Doha, Dubaï, Chypre, Bahreïn, Koweït… L'Iran mène des frappes multiples dans la région, et notamment en Israël, où les villes de Tel-Aviv, Jérusalem-Est et Haïfa ont été prises pour cible. La République islamique d'Iran est certes décapitée, mais pas renversée. Le président iranien a promis qu'un nouveau guide serait rapidement désigné. En attendant, le pays est de nouveau coupé du monde, alors que l'embrasement est régional.Aux États-Unis, Donald Trump justifie l'intervention militaire et prévient qu'elle va durer. Dans une interview donnée au New York Times, dimanche, le président américain évoque une opération de « quatre à cinq semaines » et prépare les Américains à des pertes. Quatre militaires américains ont été tués depuis le déclenchement de la guerre. « Malheureusement, il y en aura probablement d'autres avant la fin. C'est comme ça », a déclaré le président américain dans une vidéo publiée sur sa plateforme Truth Social, après l'annonce de ces morts. Il a affirmé, dans une courte allocution au ton solennel : « L'Amérique va venger ses morts et porter le coup le plus sévère aux terroristes qui ont déclaré la guerre contre, fondamentalement, la civilisation. »« Les opérations militaires vont continuer à pleine puissance pour le moment et elles se poursuivront jusqu'à ce que tous nos objectifs soient atteints », a-t-il déclaré depuis sa résidence de Mar-a-Lago, tout en restant flou sur ce qu'il envisage pour la suite. Ainsi, tout en disant qu'il reviendrait au peuple iranien de renverser le pouvoir, il a vanté l'opération américaine du début d'année au Venezuela. « Ce que nous avons fait au Venezuela, je pense, est le scénario parfait, le scénario parfait », a-t-il déclaré.Depuis l'île Longue à Brest, où sont stationnés les quatre sous-marins nucléaires lanceurs d'engins français, le président de la République a estimé ce lundi que la France doit « renforcer sa dissuasion nucléaire face à la combinaison des menaces » et a annoncé une augmentation du nombre de têtes nucléaires françaises. « Nous devons penser notre stratégie de dissuasion dans la profondeur du continent européen, dans le plein respect de notre souveraineté. Avec la mise en place progressive de ce que j'appellerai une dissuasion avancée » a-t-il également expliqué.Alors, quelle est la situation au Moyen-Orient ? Quels sont les « objectifs » de Trump et Netanyahu ? Quel futur pour l'Iran et la région ? Quels sont les scénarios envisageables ? La France peut-elle se retrouver, malgré elle, partie prenante du conflit ?

Your long-lost legends of long-winded lore are back, reporting live from the 2026 Web Summit Conference in Doha, Qatar! Together they proudly present the second installment of their pop culture anecdote grab-bag: TMI: Oops, All Digressions. This time around, they dive into the origins (and alternate-universe casting) of the James Bond franchise — including the hilariously un-spy-like way Ian Fleming stole the name “James Bond” from a real-life bird expert, plus the many almost-Bonds who nearly wore the tux. From there, the conversation takes the scenic route into how Bond indirectly helped inspire Indiana Jones, why Spielberg never got his 007 shot (but still got the last laugh), and a detour through Terminator lore — from Arnold’s gun-range training to the surprising movie that earned him his biggest payday. Meanwhile, Heigl breaks down the proud, baffling tradition of electric jug music via the 13th Floor Elevators, and Jordan nerds out on the strange history of currency (stone money, cheese wheels as collateral, and why your penny is living on borrowed time) before sliding into the origins of playing cards — capped off by the mind-melter that there are more possible shuffles of a deck than there are atoms on Earth. So strap in for TMI: Oops, All Digressions! No structure. No safety net. Just facts. (Recorded February 2, 2026.)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thousands of flights have been disrupted as military strikes continue in the Middle East. Flights in and out of airports in Tel Aviv, Dubai, Doha and other international hubs in the region have been suspended or severely restricted with much of the air space there closed. It follows the US-Israel attack on Iran. Executive Director of the NZ Board of Airline Reprsentatives, Cath O'Brien spoke to Lisa Owen.

The US President has warned combat operations will continue in Iran until all of Washington's objective have been achieved. US and Israeli strikes and Iranian retaliation have already cost dozens of lives and disrupted global shipping and air travel. Iran has retaliated, striking at US military installations in the region. The Gulf cities of Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha have been under bombardment. Middle East correspondent Jacob Brown spoke to Lisa Owen.

L'operazione "Epic Fury" contro l'Iran riporta il rischio geopolitico al centro dei mercati energetici. Il nodo è lo Stretto di Hormuz: da lì transitano circa 20 milioni di barili al giorno su 105 di domanda globale, ma soprattutto quasi metà del petrolio scambiato via mare, cioè quello che fa davvero il prezzo. Il Brent sale oltre 78 dollari, il WTI sopra 71. Il gas europeo balza a 45 euro/MWh (+40%), dopo che QatarEnergy ha annunciato lo stop alla produzione di GNL a Ras Laffan a seguito degli attacchi. Per il petrolio esiste ancora un cuscinetto di offerta - anche grazie agli Stati Uniti, oggi a 13,5 milioni di barili al giorno - ma sul gas la situazione è molto più fragile. L'Europa, che ha sostituito 150 miliardi di metri cubi di gas russo con GNL, dipende in modo cruciale dal Qatar: il 20% del GNL globale passa da Hormuz. Senza alternative immediate, ogni tensione si scarica direttamente sul TTF e quindi sulle bollette elettriche, soprattutto in Italia. L'Opec+ annuncia un aumento di produzione ad aprile, ma mantiene massima flessibilità. Il mercato, però, guarda alla continuità dei flussi: se Hormuz si blocca, il surplus globale si azzera.La reazione dei MercatiNon è panico, è riduzione del rischio. I mercati stanno ricalibrando le probabilità. Il petrolio è il primo termometro, ma i segnali arrivano anche da oro, Treasury e Vix, ai massimi del 2026. Bitcoin inizialmente scende del 4% per poi recuperare rapidamente: segnale che l'escalation viene considerata, per ora, circoscritta. Le Borse europee cedono terreno, in particolare industriali e banche. Salgono energia e difesa. Il FTSE MIB è in netto ribasso. Il punto chiave è la parte lunga della curva Usa. A febbraio il decennale è sceso sotto il 4% nonostante petrolio in rialzo e PPI sopra le attese. È una divergenza anomala: se il greggio consolidasse sopra 80-100 dollari, i rendimenti potrebbero risalire per timori inflattivi. Se invece continuassero a scendere, il mercato starebbe prezzando un rallentamento economico più profondo. La domanda centrale resta una: shock energetico temporaneo o cambio di ciclo macro? La risposta arriverà dai tassi americani. Interviene Giacomo Calef, Responsabile per l'Italia di NS Partners.Caos nei cieli del Golfo: spazio aereo off limits e oltre 5mila voli cancellatiLa chiusura simultanea degli spazi aerei di Iran, Israele, Iraq, Qatar, Bahrein, Kuwait, Siria ed Emirati Arabi riporta il trasporto aereo a uno scenario da emergenza globale. Oltre 5.000 voli cancellati in due giorni, con gli hub di Dubai, Doha e Abu Dhabi particolarmente colpiti. Gli scali di Dubai e Abu Dhabi hanno subito danni diretti; nello Zayed International Airport si registra anche una vittima. Più di 20 mila passeggeri assistiti negli Emirati, ma il problema è sistemico: quegli hub movimentano circa 90 mila passeggeri al giorno e sono snodi cruciali tra Europa, Asia e Africa. Non è solo una crisi regionale: la chiusura del Golfo spezza corridoi intercontinentali, altera rotte globali e aumenta costi e tempi. L'aviazione civile è tra i primi settori a pagare il prezzo dell'instabilità geopolitica. Il commento è di Gregory Alegi, professore di Storia e politica delle Americhe presso l'Università Luiss, ed esperto del settore aeronautico.
