90% Of Iranian Strikes Were Targeting UAE’s Civilian Infrastructure

  • Reem Al Hashimy, the UAE’s Minister of State for International Cooperation, revealed that the UAE has been hit by a barrage of over 2,800 missiles and drones since the outbreak of hostilities between Iran and the U.S.-Israeli coalition 40 days ago.

  • Most alarmingly, Al Hashimy noted that more than 90% of these strikes have intentionally targeted civilian infrastructure.

  • Speaking on ABC’s This Week, Al Hashimy drew a sharp contrast between the UAE’s development and Iran’s military focus.

  • She emphasised that the Revolutionary Guard is not merely posturing against Western powers but is actively waging war against the stability of its own neighbours in the Gulf.

The Drink Everyone’s Reaching For This Spring 🍸✨

Spring doesn’t have to mean a packed schedule and another drink you regret tomorrow.

This season, I’m reaching for something different: Vesper by Pique.

Pique is known for blending ancient botanicals with modern science to create elevated wellness essentials. Vesper might be my favorite yet. It’s a non-alcoholic, adaptogenic aperitif that delivers the relaxed, social glow of a cocktail. Without alcohol or the next-day fog.

It’s what I pour when I want something special in my glass on a bright spring evening. Each sip feels celebratory and uplifting. Relaxed body. Clear mind. No haze. No sleep disruption.

Crafted with L-theanine, lemon balm, gentian root, damiana, and elderflower, Vesper is sparkling, tart, and beautifully herbaceous.

If you’re ready for a new kind of happy hour, try Vesper here. 🌿✨
