🎢 Wild ride on markets today reacting to the Trump deescalation post and then various denials and counterdenials… 1. Brent Crude oil… slumps 14% on Trump post, then rises 10% on Iranian denials then moves >5% a further four times before settling a moment ago just below $100 a barrel 2. UK natural gas prices - similar… 3. UK 10 year gilt yields had risen into worrying territory 5.12%, then fell sharply then rollercoaster … now 4.85%

There will be a collective sigh of relief here in the Gulf as Trump postpones his threat to hit Iran’s power plants tonight if #Iran doesnt unblock Strait of #Hormuz Iran was vowing to hit back at this side of the Gulf (Qatar/Saudi/UAE etc)

Had a lot of fun reading the books and chatting about them with @HarriettSG and @DougRDNaylor - thanks for asking me ♥️ bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002t1d…

Statement | Qatar Condemns, Denounces Blatant Iranian Attack on Ras Laffan Industrial City Doha | March 18, 2026 The State of Qatar expresses its strong condemnation and denunciation of the blatant Iranian attack targeting Ras Laffan Industrial City, which caused fires resulting in significant damage to the facility. It describes the attack as a dangerous escalation, a flagrant violation of state sovereignty, and a direct threat to its national security and regional stability. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirms that despite Qatar's policy of distancing itself from this war since its outset and its commitment to avoiding any escalation, the Iranian side continues to target it and neighboring countries in an irresponsible approach that undermines regional security and threatens international peace. The ministry stresses that Qatar has repeatedly called for the need to refrain from targeting civilian and energy facilities, including within the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in order to preserve the resources of the region's peoples and safeguard international peace and security. However, the Iranian side continues its escalatory policies that are pushing the region toward the brink and drawing countries not party to this crisis into the conflict zone. The ministry affirms that this attack constitutes a violation of UN Security Council Resolution No. (2817), renewing its call on the Council to assume its responsibilities in maintaining international peace and security and to take the necessary measures to stop these serious violations and deter their perpetrators. The ministry also reiterates that the State of Qatar reserves its right to respond in accordance with Article (51) of the United Nations Charter and the right to self-defense as guaranteed by international law, stressing that it will not hesitate to take all necessary measures to protect its sovereignty, security, and the safety of its citizens and residents. #MOFAQatar

I was speaking today with @BBCMaryam on @BBCWorld News about the war as it enters its third week. We discussed where things stand, how the conflict is evolving, and what may come next.

Israel's Defence Minister Israel Katz says Iran's Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib has been killed. Iran is yet to confirm. Some of the things we know about Khatib: bbc.co.uk/news/live/c24d410m…

Today is Chaharshanbe Suri, an ancient fire festival, in Iran. What is its significance during the war?

clip from my interview with @BBCMaryam for @BBCBreaking where i explain the danger of the moment we were in. iran will not be toppled easily, and the US-israeli attack on them has made them extremely unpredictable.

The human cost of the war : In the first 17 days of this conflict thousands of people have been killed across the region and millions have been displaced More than 3-thousand people have been killed in Iran - according to a US based human rights group - at least 206 of them were children. The UN says 3.2 million people have been displaced In Lebanon, authories say 886 people have been killed and more than 830,000 have been displaced Israeli authories say 12 civilians have been killed by missile fire since the start of the war, and more than 2,000 people displaced Across the Gulf states at least 18 people have been killed And 13 US service members have been killed - as well as one French soldier

No10 on a Keir Starmer/Donald Trump call this eve:   “The leaders discussed the ongoing situation in the Middle East and the importance of reopening the Strait of Hormuz to end the disruption to global shipping, which is driving up costs worldwide.”
