Bahrain's Alba assesses damage after Iran strikes aluminium plants

Excerpt "March 29 (Reuters) - Aluminium Bahrain (ALBH.BH), which runs one of the world's ​largest smelters, said on Sunday it was assessing the damage following Iranian strikes on the facility and ‌another major aluminium producer in the United Arab Emirates. Two employees at Aluminium Bahrain were hurt in Saturday's attack, the state-controlled company said, while regional peer Emirates Global Aluminium's site sustained significant damage from missile and drone strikes the same day. Most Gulf aluminium producers, which account for ​about 9% of global supply, have been unable to ship to world markets via their normal channels since ​the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran began due to Tehran's effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz. EGA is ⁠the Middle East's largest producer of the metal and Alba operates the world's largest single-site smelter."

I'd like to remind people, again, that none of this has to be happening. US chose the escalation, and now the whole region is paying for it. Iranians and US troops in particular, with some US soldiers now dying too.... I think there has to be a better solution than wars and invasions, come on, we've been over this lesson...

Another stock goes up

In *Bahrain?* Yeah that’s real pertinent to the war effort.

Why doesn't GCC population demand their governments to remove american bases and presence.? This shouldn't happen then. But wait, doing so would make them feel naked. "Feel" being the appropriate word here.
