Goldman Sachs economist Farouk Soussa warns that Qatar and Kuwait face 14% GDP drops this year if the ongoing Iran war keeps the Strait of Hormuz closed for two months, as these nations lack bypass pipelines unlike Saudi Arabia and the UAE, which could see 3-5% declines. The strait, vital for 20% of global oil and LNG trade, has seen near-zero traffic since early March after Iran mined it and attacked tankers in response to U.S. and Israeli strikes on February 28. Oil output has plunged across the Gulf, Brent crude hit $126 before settling near $100, and cash-strapped states may tap massive sovereign wealth funds or gold reserves to weather shortages and high import costs.

Key Takeaway

A two-month blockade of the Strait of Hormuz could devastate Qatar and Kuwait's economies, with Goldman Sachs projecting 14% GDP contractions—the Gulf's worst since the early 1990s.

Full Summary

Tottenham Hotspur are lining up candidates to replace interim coach Igor Tudor, just weeks after he took over on February 14 following Thomas Frank's sacking. The club has won no league games this year, conceding 23 goals in 11 matches, and now faces Liverpool with a depleted squad missing stars like Cristian Romero, Joao Palhinha, and Micky van de Ven. Roberto De Zerbi tops their wishlist but a deal looks unlikely, while Harry Redknapp quipped he'd return with old pals Kranjcar, Crouchy, and Defoe. A result at Anfield might save Tudor, but the board's impatience signals another change looms.

Key Takeaway

With zero Premier League wins in 2026 and up to 12 players sidelined, Tottenham head to Anfield on a knife-edge, as the board hunts for Igor's replacement.
