Abu Dhabi hosts Russia-Ukraine talks, Trump says Iran war may end soon

According to The National, high-stakes talks between the US, Russia and Ukraine have begun in Abu Dhabi, marking the first such discussions since February. The meeting focuses on ending the conflict in Europe, though a breakthrough remains uncertain. US President Donald Trump, following talks with Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman at the White House, stated that renewed military action against Iran is "unlikely" and that there is a good chance the war could end soon. Meanwhile, Iranian hackers accused of attacking supermarket refrigerators in Europe are suspected of exploiting security flaws in similar equipment in the US and UK. In Gaza, heavy rain caused a sandbank to collapse on tents sheltering displaced families, killing five Palestinians, including three children. Additionally, UAE authorities have closed an east coast beach due to an oil spill, the source of which remains unconfirmed.
