CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@ChrisMayLA6 This happens with as well, flying citizens home from war zones.I think it is a good political selling point for a tax against global net wealth on citizens, regardless of residency.(Offset, of course, in the usual tax treaty ways against wealth tax paid in other jurisdictions such as ).

An interesting article about the relevance of the Strait of Harmuz to the global food supply.#StraitOfHormuz #MiddleEast #Iran--Beyond Oil: The Strait Of Hormuz And The Global Food Risk~https://www.forbes.com/sites/rrapier/2026/03/01/beyond-oil-the-strait-of-hormuz-and-the-global-food-risk/

France, the United Kingdom, and Germany have issued a joint E3 statement announcing they will "take steps to defend our interests and those of our allies in the region." The statement signals European coordination in response to the escalating conflict between Iran and US-Israeli forces. The three European powers have historically played significant diplomatic roles with Iran, including as parties to the JCPOA. Their unified position comes as the conflict expands with Iranian strikes on US bases, Israeli retaliation, American casualties, and the targeting of Jerusalem.#E3 #Europe #MiddleEast

The U.S. military used kamikaze drones in its attacks on Iran over the weekend — the first time the world’s most powerful military employed the weapons in combat — in a message to allies like Japan and rivals like China. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/03/01/world/us-iran-kamikaze-drones/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #us #iran #usmilitary #middleeast #defense #china #sdf #drones

FRANCE CONVENES UN SECURITY COUNCIL IN 2.5 HOURS OVER MIDDLE EAST CRISISFrance has called an emergency UN Security Council meeting to address the escalating Middle East conflict, scheduled to begin in approximately 2.5 hours. The urgent session comes as the war between Iran and the US-Israel coalition expands to new fronts with confirmed strikes on Iran, Israel, Bahrain, UAE, Qatar, and Kuwait.French President Macron earlier warned the conflict "will have serious consequences for peace and international security" and "must be stopped."The meeting represents the first major international diplomatic response since the conflict erupted. However, with a permanent member (the United States) directly involved in combat operations, prospects for meaningful action remain uncertain. Russia and China have already condemned Western actions.#UN #MiddleEast #Diplomacy

The United Kingdom has issued a security alert advising citizens in Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia to exercise heightened caution and maintain vigilance. The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office updated its travel advice without specifying particular threats. The simultaneous advisory across three major Gulf and regional nations—all hosting significant British communities and tourists—suggests a broad assessment of elevated regional risk rather than a single localized threat.#UK #TravelAlert #MiddleEast
