Security Shock in Damascus: A car bomb exploded outside a Defense Ministry-linked building in Bab Sharqi, killing one soldier and wounding at least a dozen to 18 people, as authorities said troops were dismantling a separate device nearby and no group claimed responsibility. Health Update: Syria’s Health Ministry reported 12 injured in a separate Bab Sharqi car explosion, with ambulances and civil defense teams rushing to hospitals amid heightened security. Regional Pressure on Trade: Damascus issued a new customs decree banning entry of Israeli goods, tightening inspections at border crossings as political tensions spill into everyday commerce. Iran Talks vs. Escalation Risk: Trump said he paused a planned attack on Iran after a new peace proposal arrived via Pakistan, while Gulf states reported drone interceptions tied to the wider Hormuz-area standoff. EU Sanctions Shift: Brussels extended sanctions on former Assad-era figures but removed some Syrian ministries from the blacklist, signaling limited re-engagement.
