US President Donald Trump has announced plans to retaliate against Iran following missile strikes at American military bases in Jordan, according to reports. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has called on G20 finance ministers to collaborate with Washington in severing Iran's financial support, with the European Union endorsing the initiative.
The United Arab Emirates has already severed trade and financial ties with Iran. In Iraq, a Kataib Hezbollah militia member has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for kidnapping American journalist Shelly Kittleson in March. Iraq is striving to bring Iran-backed armed groups under state control. Wildfires in Algeria that claimed 12 lives have led President Abdelmadjid Tebboune to propose the death penalty for arsonists, with several individuals already apprehended in connection with the blaze.
Additionally, UAE residents, including Indian and Lebanese nationals, have been cautioned about scammers impersonating officials and agents, aiming to obtain personal information.
