President Trump has warned of renewed strikes if no deal is reached within a limited timeframe, while Iran's Revolutionary Guards threatened confrontation extending beyond the Middle East. Both sides remain locked in hostile rhetoric despite Saudi and Turkish backing for continued talks.

Colombia's Air-e electricity distributor, serving 1.3 million customers across three departments, has seen its debt more than double since government intervention 20 months ago, reaching $2.1–3.9 trillion. The company loses over half its purchased energy to illegal connections and unpaid bills, while thermal generators supplying 35% of regional power operate at a loss and face imminent refusal to continue generation. The crisis disproportionately affects low-income populations in the Caribbean region, where 85% of users belong to lower income strata.

Iran's actions have disrupted Hormuz shipping lanes, destabilizing Gulf trade and energy markets. China's pre-built corridor infrastructure and strong industrial capacity position it to gain relative advantage, while Pakistan has begun routing transit through Iran via Chinese-built corridors—a shift that redirects regional trade away from traditional UAE ports and consolidates Beijing's influence over critical supply chains.

The Foreign Investors Council warns that Romania's ongoing political crisis—triggered by the PSD's withdrawal from the governing coalition—threatens economic stability and investor confidence. With 53% of surveyed companies reporting deteriorated legislative predictability and historical FDI sensitivity to policy uncertainty, prolonged instability could reduce annual foreign direct investment inflows from the recent EUR 6-7 billion average, particularly given elevated public debt and regional competitive pressures.

The rise of the lefts at the territorial level could hinder the process of rebuilding the progressive alliance at the state level, and some voices publicly ask to choose the new brand now and the new leadership Forward 'surpasses' Por Andalucía and deepens the crisis of Sumar The overturning in the panorama of the alternative left in Andalusia has once again focused on the weakness of the progressive formations at the state level in the face of the rise of the territorial. The great result of the Andalusians of Adelante, who quadrupled their results and clearly surpassed Por Andalucía, threatens to hinder the process of rebuilding the alliance between IU, Movimiento Sumar, Más Madrid and the Comuns, and the first voices calling for its acceleration have already begun to emerge. And it also puts Podemos in a brete, since the purples aspire to do "tandem" with a Gabriel Rufián who, precisely, proposes that progressive parties at the state level withdraw or, at least, take a back seat in the next general elections in favor of left-wing formations at the regional level.

India state-fuel retailers raised petrol and diesel prices by less than a rupee per litre on Tuesday, the second increase in a week to recover some losses from high crude prices resulting from the Iran war. After the rise of roughly 0.9 Indian rupees ($0.0093), consumers will pay 98.64 Indian rupees for a litre of petrol in New Delhi and 91.58 Indian rupees for a litre of diesel, dealers said. Prices vary across the country because of regional taxes.

Russian President Vladimir Putin arrives in Beijing on Tuesday for talks with his Chinese counterpart and his “long-time good friend” Xi Jinping, intending to show their ties are unshakeable days after a visit by Donald Trump.
