President Donald Trump said negotiations with Iran would take place on Monday but declined to impose a deadline for an agreement aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz and addressing Tehran’s nuclear capabilities. Trump said the United States had been prepared to launch another major attack against Iran before suspending the operation to allow diplomacy to proceed. Speaking to reporters, he offered few details about […]
Arabian Post Staff -Dubai US President Donald Trump has suspended a planned military attack on Iran after Tehran and several Middle Eastern governments indicated that negotiations could produce a swift agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Trump said the operation had been cancelled on the condition that the parties rapidly finalise a deal addressing maritime access and Iran’s nuclear programme. He warned that US forces remained […]

Arabian Post Staff -Dubai The United States and Iran have halted attacks for a second consecutive night, creating a fragile opening for diplomacy after nearly two weeks of escalating strikes around the Strait of Hormuz. US forces carried out no reported air strikes against Iran during the weekend after 13 straight nights of operations aimed at missile sites, coastal positions and other capabilities used to threaten commercial […]
Arabian Post Staff -Dubai US President Donald Trump has made Saudi Arabia’s normalisation of relations with Israel a condition for advancing a newly signed civil nuclear cooperation agreement, adding a major diplomatic hurdle to a deal already facing scrutiny over uranium enrichment and safeguards. Trump said on Thursday that the agreement was “totally subject” to Riyadh joining the Abraham Accords, the US-backed framework that established diplomatic relations […]
Arabian Post Staff -Dubai Airlines should adopt a globally consistent method for calculating and displaying flight emissions as travellers and corporate customers demand clearer carbon information, the International Air Transport Association has said. The industry body is pressing carriers, booking platforms, travel agencies and regulators to use comparable operational data rather than competing calculation models that can produce sharply different estimates for the same journey. The absence […]

Arabian Post Staff -Dubai Iran launched missile and drone attacks on US military facilities across the Gulf on Friday after American forces completed a sixth consecutive night of strikes on Iranian military infrastructure, deepening a cycle of retaliation that has disrupted regional shipping and unsettled energy markets. Tehran said its forces targeted US facilities in Bahrain and Kuwait during the early hours of Friday. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards […]

Arabian Post Staff -Dubai Washington and Tehran have used a new round of indirect talks in Doha to move from crisis management towards implementation of a preliminary understanding that has lowered fears of a wider Gulf confrontation but left major disputes unresolved. The discussions, hosted by Qatar with Pakistani mediation, began on Tuesday night and continued on Wednesday in separate sessions involving senior negotiators and technical experts. […]
Over the past year, women across TikTok and Instagram have embraced hashtags such as #BuryMeInThis – a viral expression of ultimate obsession, where users name the look they would want to be remembered in. What began as playful, dramatic content quickly evolved into a cultural signal: a new generation of women declaring that they are not dressing for occasions – they are the occasion.
LUX recognised the deeper meaning behind the trend and partnered with legal experts to give it permanence. #LUXMyWill enables women to turn a fleeting social post into a formally recognised personal style wish – one that can be witnessed, documented and preserved.
The initiative invites women to declare their chosen look on camera and tag someone they trust to honour it. Legal specialists worked alongside the brand to define what gives such a declaration standing, and to create simple, accessible content explaining the process. Selected participants also received a LUX My Will box, designed to preserve their chosen outfit alongside their recorded declaration.
“Beauty has always been a powerful form of self-expression. Today, women are taking that further – not waiting for occasions, but becoming them,” said Judy Zu, Global Brand Director, LUX. “This trend showed us that when a woman chooses how she wants to be remembered, it’s not frivolous – it’s a statement of identity. We wanted to give that statement the recognition it deserves.”
The movement built organically. Creators who had previously posted under #BuryMeInThis revisited their content to make it official, tagging friends who, in turn, created declarations of their own. Each tag became a new participant. Each declaration, a witnessed moment. Each video, a permanent expression of personal style.
Through this chain of participation, #LUXMyWill expanded rapidly – creator by creator, tag by tag – turning individual expressions of glamour into a collective cultural movement.
At its core, #LUXMyWill reinforces LUX’s enduring belief: beauty is not just something you wear for a moment. It is something you embody, define, and leave behind – because you are the occasion.

Arabian Post Staff -Dubai US negotiators Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff held what Washington described as positive discussions with regional leaders in Qatar, while technical contacts with Iran moved ahead through mediators as both sides sought to preserve a fragile ceasefire and turn a temporary truce into a wider settlement. The Doha meetings form part of an indirect negotiating track designed to reduce the risk of renewed […]

By K Raveendran India’s decision to initiate an anti-dumping investigation into cheap steel imports marks more than another defensive trade action. It is a reminder that globalisation, which New Delhi has often invoked when Indian exports face barriers abroad, becomes far more complicated when the pressure arrives at home. The steel case has exposed the […]

The residency-by-investment landscape looks very different in 2026 than it did just a few years ago.[/caption] Across the world, governments have tightened eligibility requirements, increased investment thresholds and, in some cases, closed popular investment routes altogether. At the same time, investor priorities have evolved. Rather than simply looking for a residence permit, families are increasingly asking a broader question: Which country offers the best long-term opportunities for […]
Iraq has signalled that it may reconsider its position inside OPEC unless its production quota is lifted sharply, opening a new dispute inside the oil producers’ group at a time when war-related disruption in the Gulf has strained export revenues and weakened confidence in the cartel’s cohesion. The warning marks an unusually direct challenge from one of OPEC’s five founding members and its second-largest producer after Saudi […]
EU lawmakers have moved the digital euro closer to formal negotiations, giving Brussels a stronger legislative path for a public payment system designed to reduce dependence on Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay and other privately controlled networks. The European Parliament’s economic affairs committee has approved draft rules for the proposed digital euro, clearing a key stage before a wider parliamentary vote expected in July. The measure is intended […]

Lee met the Pope at the Apostolic Palace on Monday during the Vatican leg of a wider European tour, accompanied by first lady Kim Hea Kyung. The meeting placed religion and diplomacy at the centre of Seoul’s outreach strategy, as the Lee administration looks for channels beyond formal security talks to keep a peace agenda alive despite Pyongyang’s weapons programme.
The invitation was tied to World Youth Day 2027, the Catholic Church’s largest youth gathering, which Seoul will host from August 3 to 8. The event is expected to bring large numbers of young Catholics and other visitors to the capital, giving South Korea a global platform and offering Pope Leo his first major Asian pastoral journey if he accepts.
Lee and Pope Leo agreed to cooperate on the successful staging of the event, while the South Korean leader briefed the pontiff on his government’s approach to peace-building. Seoul wants the Vatican to sustain moral and diplomatic attention on the peninsula at a time when inter-Korean contact remains frozen and North Korea has shown little interest in official exchanges.
The meeting also touched on the possibility of a papal visit to North Korea, a move that would be unprecedented and politically sensitive. No pope has visited Pyongyang, and any such trip would require a formal invitation and guarantees from the North Korean authorities. The late Pope Francis had repeatedly signalled willingness to go if invited, but the plan never progressed beyond exploratory diplomacy.
Lee’s Vatican stop followed a peace Mass at the Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls in Rome, celebrated by South Korea-born Cardinal Lazzaro You Heung-sik. Lee told the congregation that the “ember of hope” for dialogue and cooperation with North Korea remained alive, recalling the June 15, 2000 inter-Korean declaration that opened the way for family reunions, exchanges and humanitarian cooperation before relations deteriorated again.
The president has sought to present his North Korea policy as a shift from confrontation towards risk reduction. His administration has suspended propaganda loudspeaker broadcasts across the border and has said it does not seek unification by absorption or ideological competition. Officials frame those steps as confidence-building measures aimed at preventing accidental clashes and rebuilding basic military trust.
Pyongyang has not responded positively. North Korea has continued to define relations with Seoul as those between hostile states and has maintained its commitment to nuclear weapons and missile development. That position limits the scope for diplomacy and makes any papal role dependent on choices by Kim Jong Un’s government rather than on Vatican willingness alone.
After meeting Pope Leo, Lee held separate talks with Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin and Archbishop Paul Richard Gallagher, the Holy See’s senior diplomat for relations with states and international organisations. Those discussions covered bilateral ties, World Youth Day, regional affairs and the contribution of the local Catholic Church to education, welfare and democratic development.
The Vatican and the Republic of Korea established diplomatic relations in 1963. Pope John Paul II visited the country in 1984 and 1989, while Pope Francis travelled there in 2014 for Asian Youth Day. The 2027 event will return the papacy to a society where Catholics are a minority but hold a visible role in civic life and social services.
South Korea’s Catholic population surpassed 6 million at the end of 2025, representing about 11.4 per cent of the population. The Church has grown steadily over the past two decades, though it faces the same demographic pressures as the wider country, including ageing congregations and fewer vocations. World Youth Day is therefore being treated as both a diplomatic opportunity and a test of the Church’s appeal to younger generations.
Arabian Post Staff -Dubai Donald Trump’s pledge that the Strait of Hormuz will be “completely opened” by Friday has left European partners pressing for details before committing naval assets to clear mines and escort commercial vessels through the world’s most sensitive energy chokepoint. The US president arrived at the Group of Seven summit in Évian-les-Bains saying a preliminary US-Iran accord had settled the immediate question of shipping […]

Arabian Post Staff -Dubai US President Donald Trump’s assertion that an interim agreement with Iran would be signed on Sunday and immediately reopen the Strait of Hormuz has exposed a widening gap between Washington’s public confidence and Tehran’s more guarded account of the negotiations. Trump said in a social media post on Saturday that “the Deal is scheduled to get signed tomorrow” and that, once completed, the […]
