Middle East Ceasefire Tensions: US President Donald Trump rejected Iran’s latest peace proposal, saying “I don’t like it,” while warning of further strikes and claiming the ceasefire is on “massive life support.” The move followed a call with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, who urged that nuclear material still must be removed from Iran and left the door open to renewed military action. Bahrain Security Crackdown: Bahrain’s courts handed down multiple rulings tied to alleged IRGC links, including three life sentences and other prison terms, with authorities also disclosing BD600,000 in cash found at the home of one suspect. Banking Leadership & Results: Bank ABC named Paul Jennings as Group CEO effective 5 August 2026, while reporting Q1 2026 net profit of $52m (down 32% YoY). Business & Infrastructure: Bahrain Duty Free’s Q1 net profit rose 5.6% to BD1.79m; the Works Ministry issued a public tender for Phase 1 of the Shaikh Jaber Al Ahmed Al Sabah Highway upgrade. Local Life & Trade: Manama Suq revamp progress was reviewed; Bahrain’s annual crab fishing ban ends May 15.
