Last update: 4 hours agoBahrain F1 Watch: Bahrain is in talks to bring the Formula 1 Bahrain Grand Prix back to the 2026 calendar, with early October (Oct 3–4) flagged as the likeliest slot, but any decision hinges on easing US-Iran tensions and improving regional conditions. Property Buyer Protection: Bahrain’s Capital Trustees Board backed a proposal for a No Objection Certificate (NOC) before property sales, aiming to stop buyers inheriting hidden municipal violations and unapproved changes.
