1. U.S. and Iran Escalate Conflict With Tanker Strikes
-- The United States and Iran carried out their largest apparent exchange of tanker attacks yet over the weekend, extending a six-month conflict and lifting oil prices, Bloomberg reported.
-- Direct attacks on commercial energy transport increase shipping, insurance and fuel costs; Brent at $96.28 adds an inflation obstacle for central banks considering rate cuts.

2. China Pauses Approvals for Battery-Storage Manufacturing Projects
-- Chinese authorities paused approvals for battery-storage manufacturing projects, Reuters reported, citing the financial outlet Cailianshe.
-- A prolonged approval freeze would slow capacity growth in the world's dominant battery supply chain and may tighten equipment availability for grid and renewable-energy projects.

-- Attackers are using an already-patched MikroTik vulnerability to gain administrative control of internet-exposed routers without authentication, according to CERT Polska and the SANS Internet Storm Center.
-- Network operators should patch immediately and investigate exposed devices for compromise because router-level access enables traffic interception, credential theft and persistent entry into connected infrastructure.
