Oil price slips after Iran targets US base in Qatar instead of blocking Strait of Hormuz: Here's why
As Iran launched missiles at a US military base in Qatar in retaliation to American airstrikes at its nuclear facilities, oil prices tumbled. With West Asia on edge amid the Israel-Iran conflagration and the US joining in, the fact that oil prices slipped after Iran fired missiles at Qatar could seem counterintuitive at first, given that it would appear that the conflict was escalating further. Oil traders, however, saw it differently. To them, Iran's Monday evening strikes accompanied by a de-escalatory tone were signals that Tehran was not going to target oil shipments or attempt a blockade of the critical chokepoint—the Strait of Hormuz—and would limit its response to seemingly symbolic strikes.

Underage marriages and Teenage pregnancies in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh: A childhood snatched, a future denied
V. Haritha isn’t sure how old she was when she got married. “I was just 14, maybe,” she says, adjusting a child on her hip while two more play nearby. Now 18, she is a mother of three, living in Gangaraju Madugula, a remote village about 120 km from Visakhapatnam, nestled in the Eastern Ghats of Andhra Pradesh. The village is home to tribal communities such as the Kondhs and Porajas, listed among India’s Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs). Access to education, healthcare and steady income remains limited in the region, and families often make difficult decisions in the face of poverty and isolation. For many girls like Haritha, that includes getting married — and becoming mothers — while still in their teens.
