  • Saudi Arabia, GCC embrace biological age testing in push for healthier aging

    From stem cell research to modifying age-limiting conditions such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease, to unlocking the regenerative capacity to reverse age-related changes in the body, targeting human aging with new therapies and medicines is a big business. And the latest trend is biological testing; figuring out how old your body actually is, versus the age on your passport. Or, in other words, your biological age versus your chronological age.

  • Saudi Arabia’s flyadeal eyes widebodies; A321neo due in 1Q26

  • Will the UAE steer Assad away from Iran-led war with Israel?

    Over the past several years, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has played a critical role in bringing Syria back into the Arab diplomatic fold. Since Abu Dhabi reopened its embassy in Damascus in 2018, high-ranking Emirati and Syrian officials have consistently engaged in manners that serve to shore up the standing of Bashar Al-Assad’s government in the Arab world. The Syrian president’s Mar. 2022 visit to the UAE was a watershed in terms of his gradual rehabilitation as a “legitimate” head of state in the eyes of Sunni Arab statesmen.

  • Israel steps up its battles with the United Nations

    On Thursday, Israeli forces fired on three positions in Lebanon staffed by the U.N. Interim Force in Lebanon, or UNIFIL.

  • Stop Israel from bombing Iran’s oil sites, Gulf states urge US

  • Saudi Arabia Aims For Global Hydrogen Leadership

The news follows on a statement by PIF governor and Aramco chairman Yasir Al Rumayyan earlier this year, that Saudi Arabia wants to invest more in green hydrogen and have 15% of ‘blue hydrogen’ production globally. While a national hydrogen strategy first appeared in outline in 2020, the country has moved forward gradually under guidance of the Saudi Ministry of Energy. Its diverse hydrogen pathways include numerous initiatives of state oil company Saudi Aramco and affiliates and the new NEOM project.

  • US still believes Iran has not decided to build a nuclear weapon, US officials say

    The United States still believes that Iran has not decided to build a nuclear weapon despite Tehran's recent strategic setbacks, including Israel's killing of Hezbollah leaders and two largely unsuccessful attempts to attack Israel, two U.S. officials told Reuters. The comments from a senior Biden administration official and a spokesperson for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) added to public remarks earlier this week by CIA Director William Burns, who said the United States had not seen any evidence Iran's leader had reversed his 2003 decision to suspend the weaponization program.
