Day five of the Hormuz escalation: Iran struck US bases located in Kuwait and the UAE — Gulf states themselves — and some twenty Emirati civilian flights were disrupted. Qatar condemned the strikes, Oman quietly rejected the toll Tehran wants to levy, and Washington says it has cut contact while floating an embargo.

Uber cuts 3,300 jobs and exits Nigeria and Uganda: platforms retreat toward robotaxis

Uber is cutting about 3,300 jobs — nearly 10% of its workforce, its deepest cut since 2020 — and ending operations in Nigeria and Uganda after twelve years. The savings fund its robotaxi pivot, while Bolt says it will stay and Delivery Hero recommends Uber's takeover offer.

ENERGIE & CLIMAT

Iran strikes Saudi supertanker SIDR: two Filipino sailors killed, Gulf condemns, crude surges

The Saudi supertanker SIDR was hit in the Strait of Hormuz, killing two Filipino sailors. Riyadh blames Iran, the GCC condemns, Tehran speaks of mines striking "US-controlled" vessels. Brent climbs toward $95 and the bill is already reaching fuel pumps in Pakistan and Nigeria.

CONFLITS & SECURITE

US strikes Hormuz, Iran hits back at Jordan and the Emirates: first exchange of fire in a month

After a month of calm during which Washington had shifted its effort to an economic war, US forces struck missile launchers on an island in the Strait of Hormuz on 31 August 2026. Tehran retaliated against two US bases in Jordan and targets in the United Arab Emirates, which called the attack a dangerous escalation. A tanker was hit by three projectiles in the strait's southern lane and a Saudi supertanker was intercepted. Brent rose to around 91 dollars.

Niger: the junta puts down a mutiny in Niamey with Russian help

On the night of 29-30 August 2026 gunfire and explosions were heard in Niamey, around the airport and the presidency. It was not a coup but a mutiny against the ruling junta: government forces retook base 101, several soldiers were killed and mutineers arrested. Only five national presses covered the episode.

DIPLOMATIE & GOUVERNANCE

Trump renames Lake Ontario "Lake America" by executive order

On 27 August 2026 Donald Trump signed an executive order renaming Lake Ontario "Lake America", as trade talks with Ottawa collapsed. The lake is a shared border water between New York State and the Canadian province of Ontario, and its name comes from an Iroquoian word. The order applies only to US federal nomenclature and does not bind Canada, which rejected it. The move follows the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America".

JUSTICE INTERNATIONALE

Meta settles the teen social media addiction case for $16.7 billion

On 26 August 2026 Meta reached a settlement with 29 US states, ending the Oakland trial over minors' addiction to Instagram and Facebook before its conclusion. The company will pay between $16.68 and $18 billion depending on how the total is counted, without admitting fault, and will apply a two-hour daily limit on Instagram for US teenagers. The next day, the European Commission demanded that Meta "protect our kids too".

DIPLOMATIE & GOUVERNANCE

Washington prepares to revoke 200,000 visas held by asylum seekers

The Trump administration is preparing the largest mass visa revocation in American history: up to 200,000 tourist and business visas held by foreigners who have filed for asylum in the United States. The measure targets nationals already on US soil and has drawn reactions from Mexico to Colombia, from Nigeria to India and Thailand.

CONFLITS & SECURITE

The United States removes Syria from its state sponsors of terrorism list after forty-seven years

Washington formally removed Syria from its list of state sponsors of terrorism, where it had been designated since 1979. The decision lifts a major part of US sanctions and opens the way to investment and reconstruction. It comes as Damascus and Israel have resumed security talks under American mediation, following an Israeli strike on a Syrian airbase, and as Turkey, the Gulf monarchies and Russia reposition their interests in the country.

DIPLOMATIE & GOUVERNANCE

Canada retaliates against US tariffs as Trump threatens to double duties on cars

Ottawa rejected the deal proposed by Washington and announced retaliatory tariffs alongside a support plan for its industries. Donald Trump in turn threatens to double duties on Canadian cars, trucks and parts. More than 500 products already face 50 % tariffs. The value of exports affected varies: 20 billion dollars in most accounts, 28 billion according to the Canadian press.
