Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri, Minister of Economy and Tourism visited the Abu Dhabi Vegetable Oil Company (ADVOC) to assess the efficiency of food supply chains and strategic stock levels of essential commodities amid current regional developments.

He stressed that food security is a national priority and a “red line,” noting that the UAE’s long-term strategies have focused on building a system that guarantees sustainable food supplies in line with the “We the UAE 2031” vision.

Trump says US military operations in Iran could end within two to three weeks
US President Donald Trump announced that American military operations in Iran could conclude within two to three weeks, telling reporters at the White House on Tuesday that reaching a deal with Tehran is not a prerequisite for ending the war.
Trump said the US has achieved its primary objective of preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, while noting that the change in the Iranian government was not among the original planned goals. He described the participation of Iranian officials in ongoing negotiations as a positive step, but stressed that the absence of a deal would not delay the end of military operations.
The new timeframe represents an extension of earlier White House estimates, which had projected the war would last between four and six weeks.
