THE BIG STORY ABROAD-<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udf10 Front pages remain dominated by US-Iran tensions and <\/strong>reactions to the <\/strong>UAE\u2019s announcement of its exit from Opec<\/a><\/strong>, effective 1 May<\/strong>. <\/strong>US President Donald Trump urges Iran to \u201cget <\/a>smart <\/a>soon<\/a>\u201d and finalize an agreement, while signaling an extended naval blockade of Iranian ports.

Meet EnterpriseAM MENA+<\/strong>, our new flagship newsletter covering the flows of capital, people, and ideas across the Middle East \u2014 and beyond it.<\/p>\n

MENA+ covers AI and tech <\/strong>\u2014 and geopolitics, the war for talent, which BSD is on top (and who's gunning for them), the changing energy economy, new corridors to India and China, and much, much more.<\/p>\n

MENA countries are jockeying for position in the new global economy now taking shape, and we're going to shape that conversation.<\/p>\n
