Iran Deadline Drama: US President Donald Trump says he was “an hour away” from ordering fresh strikes on Iran, but paused again after Gulf leaders asked for more time—warning Tehran has “two or three days… maybe Friday, Saturday, Sunday” to reach a deal or attacks could resume. UAE Blames Iraq: The UAE says drones targeting the Barakah nuclear plant came from Iraqi territory, with no radiation release reported—raising fresh pressure on Baghdad to prevent attacks from its soil. Iraq Defends Sovereignty: Iraq renewed condemnation of drone attacks on Saudi Arabia and says it’s ready to cooperate on verification, while also insisting its desert areas have no foreign bases and that any activity was limited to the Iran-war period. Domestic Politics: Iraq’s newly approved government faces a constitutional challenge as KDP and SLC nominees contest last week’s confidence vote process, with the Federal Supreme Court now set to decide. Security Push: Iraq’s Interior Ministry reports 12 cross-border anti-drug operations and about 1.6 million tons of illicit substances seized in the first five months of 2026.
