INDIA'S NIFTY 50 INDEX PARES SOME OF THE GAINS, LAST UP 1.8%

Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, and Kuwait are weighing collective military options against Iran if Tehran attacks vital Gulf infrastructure, according to sources with knowledge of deliberations. The escalation follows nearly 5,000 Iranian missile and drone strikes targeting ports, energy facilities, airports, and US bases, with at least 20 casualties in Gulf states. UAE and Saudi officials emphasized that patience is limited and that diplomacy must lead to a sustainable resolution, while Gulf Cooperation Council members are increasing intelligence coordination with US and European allies.
