Hormuz diplomacy stalls, trust breaks down: Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi says “lack of trust” is the main blocker to talks with the US, while Trump insists the US controls the Strait of Hormuz and that the ceasefire is holding only “to give diplomacy a chance.” UAE energy escape route: Abu Dhabi is fast-tracking a second west-east pipeline to Fujairah, aiming to double crude export capacity via the Gulf of Oman by 2027—another push to reduce reliance on the chokepoint. Maritime risk keeps rising: A reported “floating armoury” vessel was seized and is bound for Iranian waters, and an Indian cargo ship sank off Oman after a suspected drone attack, with crews reported safe. Oman healthcare upgrade: Khoula Hospital in Oman launched a spine endoscopy system and signed cochlear implant funding support. Trade and markets: India’s exports hit a 5-month high growth rate of 13.48% in April, but the trade deficit widened; Gulf markets remain jittery as Hormuz disruption fears linger.
