1/12 🧵 Settlement offers in investor State arbitration are often treated as private bargaining, not adjudication. That line becomes hard to defend once an offer is used to suspend proceedings or to argue that a binding agreement already exists.

BREAKING: Iran launches anti-ship ballistic and cruise missiles, and Shahed-136 drones toward the port anchorages of Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah and Jebel Ali in the UAE and adjacent areas of the Strait of Hormuz, per multiple initial reports.
Heavy flight disruptions currently over Dubai, Sharjah and Fujairah.
It comes as Iran placed its armed forces on the highest alert for 72 hours a short while ago.

Speaking of war, Emir of Qatar to his own people: "We must be ready for the worst possibilities, and everyone must bear their responsibilities, institutions and citizens alike."
(EDIT: Original post quoted him saying "war is imminent," that was a headline, not his words.)

NEW: The Emir of Qatar knows what is coming in the next few weeks:
"We must be prepared for the worst possibilities and everyone must bear their responsibilities, institutions and citizens"
The challenge though, as we see right now in the Saudi/Yemen War, is that every indication points to Iran’s ability to easily destroy Gulf infrastructure if need be.
And no, Mutually Assured Destruction does not apply when Iran can strike countries one at a time.
If Iran struck Qatar’s infrastructure, sure Qatar would want to respond, but what happens if they do? Then the rest of the Gulf DOES get destroyed by Iran.
This is escalation dominance.

60 years of ICSID!
#OTD in 1966, the ICSID Convention entered into force and created ICSID, a neutral, depoliticized forum for States and foreign investors to resolve their disputes.
Congratulations to all Member States, staff, parties to ICSID proceedings, and partners!

While the U.S. push for a deal to end its war with Iran remains stalled, the escalating conflict between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia is further rattling energy markets and threatening to draw in more countries in a region already beset by overlapping wars. wapo.st/3UhgusM

It's official.
As the bond market "meltdown" accelerates, the average interest rate on a 30Y mortgage in the US is up to 7.45%.
That's up +150 basis points in 6 months and the highest since 2023, when inflation was at 6.4%+.
What is happening? Let us explain.

#China's gasoline and diesel inventories have fallen to their lowest levels in more than a decade as exports surge and domestic demand recovers seasonally, according to GL Consulting.
Low stock levels appear to have raised Beijing's concerns, increasing the prospect of tighter export controls in October, according to Rystad Energy. GL Consulting said it expects exports to fall in October as state refiners prioritise domestic energy security. #oott reuters.com/business/energy/…
