Iran-war supply squeeze hits food packaging: Japan’s Calbee is switching some colored snack packs to black-and-white after ink-related shortages tied to Iran-linked oil/chemical disruptions. UAE business keeps moving: Sharjah developer Arada says it will still launch new UAE projects in Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah despite Iran-war uncertainty. Cost pressure shows up in dining promos: Applebee’s brings back unlimited wings/riblets for $15.99 as gas prices keep eating into restaurant budgets. Iraq security and food-safety angle: Iraq reports a fatal checkpoint shooting, drug and wanted-suspect arrests, and a restaurant fire in Diyala—plus officials detain a Kirkuk admin director over alleged illegal frozen-meat imports. Middle East-linked market caution: A survey by the National Association for Business Economics says nearly half of firms report the Iran war has harmed them, with input costs rising and investment/hiring plans downgraded. What’s missing: no major new Middle East F&B deal or policy announcement in the latest hours—most updates are about costs, logistics, and local incidents.
