1. Iran selectively clears Iraqi oil tankers through Hormuz
-- Iran granted special passage to some Iraqi oil tankers after repeated requests from Baghdad, while overall traffic through the strait remains well below prewar levels.
-- Case-by-case clearance gives Tehran leverage over regional energy flows as Iraq seeks alternative export routes; Brent near $93.60 still embeds disruption risk from the continued closure.
2. Israel strikes Syria again after U.S. criticism
-- Israel conducted a fresh strike in Syria on Saturday after Washington criticized an earlier attack, according to Channel NewsAsia.
-- Continued operations despite public U.S. objections weaken Washington's diplomatic leverage and raise security risks for forces and infrastructure across Syria.
3. Apple spyware warnings reach users across 110 countries
-- Apple recently notified customers in 110 countries of suspected spyware attacks, with Citizen Lab describing the volume and geographic spread of public reports as unprecedented.
-- The breadth of the alerts points to surveillance campaigns operating across many jurisdictions and gives targeted users a concrete reason to enable Lockdown Mode and seek forensic help.
