DEVELOPING: Iran-linked terror cell DISMANTLED in UAE
United Arab Emirates authorities have brought down a 'terrorist network' funded and operated by Hezbollah and Iran and arrested its members, according to reports. President Trump says Iran’s military is being dismantled as oil fears, Strait of Hormuz tensions and new Pentagon funding demands raise the stakes in week three of the war. (How did they do that so fast, they knew about it but let Iran do it.i think they were afraid of the reaction from Iran. So when the countries got attacked it no holds barred. Qatar knew it all and worked with UAE is my guess, and they are pissed Iran turned on them.)

U.S. says Cuba is prohibited from taking Russian oil as two tankers head to island
PUBLISHED FRI, MAR 20 20264:54 AM EDT
KEY POINTS
• The U.S. Treasury Department has made clear that Cuba is not allowed to take delivery of Russian crude.
• The warning comes at a time when two tankers carrying Russian oil and gas are thought to be on their way to Havana.
• The fuel-starved Caribbean island is facing its biggest test since the collapse of the Soviet Union under a U.S. oil blockade.
The U.S. Treasury Department has said Cuba won’t be allowed to take delivery of Russian crude, even as the fuel-starved island appears poised to receive two tankers carrying oil and gas.
In a general license published Thursday, theTreasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) added Cuba to a list of countries that would be blocked from transactions involving the sale, delivery or offloading of crude or petroleum products that originate from Russia.
The U.S. had temporarily authorized the purchase of Russian oil stranded at sea last week, as part of an effort to stabilize energy markets during the U.S. and Israeli-led war on Iran. The short-term measure suspended sanctions that were first imposed on Moscow following its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The update comes as maritime intelligence providers have been tracking two tankers carrying Russian oil and gas heading toward Cuba.
Beset by blackouts and a worsening economic crisis under a U.S. oil blockade, the communist-run Caribbean island is currently facing its biggest test since the collapse of the Soviet Union. U.S. President Donald Trumpsaid earlier in the week that he thinks he’ll have the “honor” of taking Havana in some form.
Russia, which has been allied to Cuba for decades, has sharply criticized the Trump administration’s fuel blockadeand pledged to provide the country with “necessary support, including financial aid.”
The tanker Sea Horse is one of the vessels making its way to Cuba, according to maritime intelligence firm Windward. The Hong Kong-flagged ship is estimated to be carrying around 190,000 barrels of Russian gasoil and tracking suggests it could be set to deliver its cargo in the coming days.
The tanker has been engaged in deceptive shipping practices, an analysis published Wednesday by Windward found, including switching off its location transponders (or AIS “spoofing”) during oil transfer, and it lacks Western insurance, which Windward says indicates potential sanctions circumvention.
A second Russian-flagged oil tanker, the sanctioned Anatoly Kolodkin, is also thought to be on its way to Cuba carrying 730,000 barrels of crude oil, maritime analytics firm Kpler said Wednesday, according to AFP. CNBC has contacted Kpler and is awaiting a response.
The shipments represent an act of defiance to the U.S., given that Washington has threatened to impose tariffs on any country that supplies it with oil. The Kremlin has previously shrugged off Trump’s tariff threats, pointing out that Washington and Moscow “don’t have much trade right now.”
The Russian patrol vessel Neustrahimiy arrives at Havana harbor on July 27, 2024, as part of a fleet composed of the training ship Smolniy and the offshore oil tanker Yelnya. The Russian fleet will remain on the island from July 27-30.
Cuba had been heavily dependent on oil from Venezuela, but it has effectively been cut off since early January when the U.S. launched an extraordinary military operation to depose Venezuela President Nicolás Maduro.
The Trump administration has called Cuba’s government “an unusual and extraordinary threat” and suggested the U.S. could turn its sights to Cuba after the Iran war.
Cuba’s President Miguel Díaz-Canel on Wednesday lashed out at the “almost daily” threats from the U.S. and pledged to meet the Trump administration’s move to choke off the island’s fuel supplies with “unyielding resistance.”

UK 10-year bond yields soar past 5% as borrowing costs hit their highest level since 2008
PUBLISHED FRI, MAR 20 20268
KEY POINTS
• British government borrowing costs surged to their highest since the 2008 financial crisis on Friday.
• Yields on the benchmark 10-year gilt have jumped around 68 basis points in the 15 trading days since the U.S.-Iran war began.
• Investors are repricing gilts as markets bet on rising inflation and rate hikes from the Bank of England.
British government borrowing costs surged to their highest since the 2008 financial crisis on Friday, with the benchmark 10-year rate crossing 5% as investors scrambled to price in rising inflation risks and a growing probability of interest rate hikes later this year.
U.K. government bonds – known as gilts – have undergone a sharp repricing amid the escalation of the Iran war. Yields on the benchmark 10-year gilt have jumped around 68 basis points in the 15 trading days since the conflict began, while the yield on the 2-year gilt has added about 97 basis points.
Bond prices and yields move in opposite directions.
On Friday, the yield on the U.K.’s 10-year government bonds
surged around 15 basis points higher to 5.00%, its highest level since the 2008 financial crisis.
Meanwhile, yields on 2-year gilts
jumped 19 basis points to around 4.602%, marking their highest level in more than a year.
Britain’s bond market has been particularly susceptible to fears of resurgent inflation as the U.S.-Iran war drags on, in part because of its reliance on imported energy. The war, and the subsequent blockade in the Strait of Hormuz – a critical oil shipping route – has led to a surge in oil and gas prices.
==Even before the war broke out, the U.K. had the highest government borrowing costs of any G7 nation, with long-term 20-
and 30-year gilts
trading well above the crucial 5% threshold==. The yields on those bonds jumped by around 9 and 7 basis points, respectively, on Friday.
Nigel Green, CEO of financial advisory deVere Group, told CNBCmarkets were rapidly unwinding expectations of rate cuts from the Bank of England.
On Thursday, the central bank’s Monetary Policy Committee said it had voted “unanimously” keep its benchmark interest rate on hold, saying inflation would be higher in the near term “as a result of the new shock to the economy.”
Before the war began, the BOE had been expected to cut its key interest rate. Now, markets are pricing in a near 0% chance of a rate cut from the bank this year, with the vast majority of traders seeing a rate hike next month, LSEG data shows. Markets are also overwhelmingly pricing in a key rate of at least 4.25% by the end of the year, which would suggest a minimum of two rate hikes.
“The trigger is energy, as oil and gas shocks are feeding directly into inflation expectations, and gilts are reacting exactly as you would expect in this scenario,” deVere’s Green told CNBC via email.“This isn’t a disorderly sell-off — it’s an understandable repricing of risk.”
There was “also a political layer” to movements seen in gilt markets, according to Green.
“Finance minister Rachel Reeves has built her fiscal framework around stability and credibility, but higher yields quickly translate into higher borrowing costs,” he said. “This, of course, narrows her room for maneuver at precisely the moment pressure is building for additional support on energy and households.”
The bond market has largely been supportive of Reeves’ commitment to her so-called “fiscal rules” during her tenure as finance minister, with speculation that she may be fired from the job last year triggering a gilts sell-off.
Adding to selling pressure on Friday, official figures showed theUK government borrowed a higher-than-expected £14.3 billion ($1.74 billion) in February.
Reeves has committed to bringing day-to-day government spending to a level where it can be funded by tax revenues rather than borrowing, with her rules also saying that public debt must be falling as a share of economic output by 2029-30.
“From an investment perspective, higher yields are starting to restore value in parts of the curve,” Green added. “But volatility will remain elevated while energy markets dictate the inflation outlook.”
George Godber, Fund Manager, Polar Capital U.K. Value Opportunities Fund, told CNBC’s “Squawk Box Europe” on Thursday that his team was avoiding any knee-jerk reactions to the news flow around the conflict.
I’m glad “The duration of this impact is deeply unknown … In these times, history would tell you the best thing to do is keep calm,” he said. “What we’ve done is very little.”
