Hello. The Iran war enters a fourth day in 'smoke and blood', global oil and gas shipping costs surge as Iran vows to close the Strait of Hormuz, and stranded travelers wait out travel chaos.

Plus, here's how Dubai's safe-haven status is being put to the test.

For decades, Dubai's sales pitch featured gleaming skylines, tax-free salaries, ease of doing business and something far more intangible: the unspoken promise that whatever was happening elsewhere in the Middle East, this city was different. The conflicts that destabilized the region would somehow stop at Dubai's borders.

On Saturday, that all changed. Iran's retaliatory strikes across the Gulf hit across Dubai's key sectors, landing on airports, hotels and ports. They also hit the psychological foundations of a city that had spent four decades constructing that identity ‌as one of the world's most reliable places to do business in an unreliable neighborhood.

Researchers at the Netherlands' Rijksmuseum have authenticated as genuine a Rembrandt painting that will be on public display for the first time in decades.

Over a two‑year investigation, the researchers compared the "Vision of Zacharias in the Temple" with other Rembrandt works from the same period. It is on a long-term loan to the museum from an anonymous private collector.
