Deadly Explosion During Sunday Mass in Damascus Church.
A deadly suicide bombing shook the Mar Elias Church in Damascus on Sunday, leaving at least 30 people dead or injured during a packed morning mass, according to the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The exact number of casualties remains unclear. Eyewitnesses described a horrifying scene, with the attacker reportedly detonating an explosive device inside the church while worshippers gathered in prayer. Local reports suggest that children may be among the victims. Security forces and emergency responders rushed to the scene within minutes, cordoning off the area and assisting the wounded. This tragic incident is one of the rare attacks of its kind in Syria in recent years, especially in the capital. It comes at a sensitive time, as Damascus — currently under the influence of Islamist factions — has been working to rebuild trust and relations with minority communities, including Christians. The attack has reignited fears of a possible resurgence of extremist sleeper cells, even as Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa continues efforts to assert control across the war-torn nation. The bombing underscores the fragile security situation and the deep scars left by years of conflict.

GCC Nations Urge Calm as US-Iran Tensions Escalate After Airstrikes
Gulf nations are calling for calm and preparing for possible fallout after U.S. airstrikes targeted Iran's nuclear facilities late Saturday night, triggering alarm across the region. The strikes, ordered by President Donald Trump, hit three major Iranian nuclear sites. Trump warned that Iran would face even more powerful attacks unless it agreed to peace. In response, Iran has threatened to target U.S. military bases and interests across the Middle East, many of which are located in Gulf countries. Bahrain and Kuwait Step Up Precautions In Bahrain, which hosts a key U.S. naval base, authorities urged residents to avoid main roads on Sunday as a precaution. Meanwhile, Kuwait activated emergency shelters within its government complex, anticipating possible spillover from the conflict. UAE Calls for Immediate Halt to Escalation The United Arab Emirates expressed 'deep concern' over the growing tensions. In a statement, the UAE Foreign Ministry warned that further escalation could push the region into 'new levels of instability.' It called for an immediate halt to hostilities and urged all sides to avoid actions that could worsen the situation. Saudi Arabia Appeals for Restraint and Diplomacy Saudi Arabia joined the chorus of regional voices calling for restraint. The Kingdom's Foreign Ministry stressed the need for de-escalation and urged the international community to step in diplomatically. 'The region cannot afford another devastating conflict,' the statement said, underscoring Saudi Arabia's concerns as the Israel-Iran standoff intensifies. Oman Condemns US Strikes Oman, known for its role as a mediator in past U.S.-Iran nuclear talks, strongly condemned the American airstrikes. In a statement published by the official Oman News Agency, the Sultanate denounced the attack and voiced its deep concern over the rising tensions. Qatar Warns of Catastrophic Consequences Qatar, home to the largest U.S. military base in the region, issued a strong warning about the potential repercussions of continued escalation. The Qatari Foreign Ministry called on all parties to act with wisdom and restraint, warning that the situation could spiral into 'catastrophic consequences' for the region and beyond.

Syria Makes First Bank Transfer Via SWIFT Since War
All it took for Syria to get back in the global dollar regime was for Al Qaeda to take over. Reuters reports that Syria completed its first international bank transaction through the SWIFT system since the onset of its 14-year civil war, its central bank governor said Thursday, marking a significant step in the country's efforts to reintegrate into the global financial system. Governor Abdelkader Husriyeh said a direct commercial transaction had been carried out from a Syrian to an Italian bank on Sunday, and that transactions with U.S. banks could begin within weeks. 'The door is now open to more such transactions,' he told Reuters in Damascus. Syrian banks were cut off from the world during the civil war after a crackdown by Bashar Assad on anti-government protests in 2011 led Western states to impose sanctions, including on Syria's central bank. After Assad was ousted in a lightning offensive led by 'reformed' Al Qaeda CIA-supported 'opposition forces' last year, Syria has taken steps to re-establish international ties, culminating in a May meeting between interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa and Donald Trump in Riyadh. The US then significantly eased its sanctions and some in Congress are pushing for them to be totally repealed. Meanwhile, Europe announced the end of its economic sanctions regime. Like every post-US intervention state, Syria now needs to make transfers with Western financial institutions – or what the Deep State calls 'laundering money' – in order to bring in huge sums for reconstruction and to kickstart a war-ravaged economy that has left nine out of 10 people poor, according to the United Nations. Husriyeh chaired a high-level virtual meeting on Wednesday, bringing together Syrian banks, several U.S. banks and U.S. officials, including Washington's Syria envoy Thomas Barrack. The aim of the meeting was to accelerate the reconnection of Syria's banking system to the global financial system and Husriyeh extended a formal invitation to U.S. banks to re-establish correspondent banking ties. 'We have two clear targets: have U.S. banks set up representative offices in Syria and have transactions resume between Syrian and American banks. I think the latter can happen in a matter of weeks,' Husriyeh told Reuters. Among the banks invited to Wednesday's conference were JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley and Citibank, though it was not immediately clear who attended.
