Morning Update: The war on the Gulf’s drinking water

Headline: water — not oil — is highlighted as the resource most at risk in a potential conflict with Iran, implying supply-security and regional stability concerns for water-dependent sectors. The briefing also notes Ottawa's defence spending (policy/fiscal implications) and The Globe's Oscar predictions; overall this is a geopolitics-focused, cautionary update with limited immediate market-moving detail.
