Jessie Buckley, “Hamnet”

---

Adapted from Maggie O’Farrell’s novel, “Hamnet” is a fictionalized tale about the death of William Shakespeare’s son, Hamnet. It imagines that the tragedy inspired him to write his timeless work, “Hamlet.” Oscar nominee Jessie Buckley plays Agnes, the wife of William Shakespeare (portrayed by fellow Irish actor Paul Mescal), and it is her emotional performance that both grounds the story and elevates it to a universal tale of pain, grief and acceptance.

Buckley (who was previously nominated for an Academy Award for “The Lost Daughter”) first gained attention on the British talent show,”I’d Do Anything,”singing in front of Andrew Lloyd Webber. He praised her, saying, “Jessie has the sacred flame of star quality.”

Theater roles followed, including Shakespeare performances. She also starred in the films “Wild Rose,” “I’m Thinking of Ending Things,” and “Women Talking,” and the TV series “Fargo.”

[Buckley told “Sunday Morning”] that performing the Bard changed everything for her: “I think before, I felt like music was the only way to contain what was kind of wanting to come out, and then Shakespeare’s words and his worlds were so titanic that it just made me realize how powerful words could be,” she said.

For “Hamnet,” she said that when she started shooting the more difficult scenes, like the death of her child, she told her husband she needed to go away for two weeks. So, Buckley went to Hampstead Heath, a vast green space in London, where she’d go swimming each morning. “I just need to be in nature and start my day and wake up that way, and then go to the set and see what came out,” she said. What came out was a performance radiating fire and tenderness.

She says director Chloé Zhao (an Oscar-winner for “Nomadland”) reminded her cinema is not just escapism. “Our jobs as actors and the storytellers are to touch the most heightened expressions that are too hard to hold on our own,” Buckley said. “I get to incubate the bits of us, myself, the shadow bits.”

“Hamnet” is nominated for 8 Academy Awards, including best picture.

Rose Byrne, “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You”

---

Rose Byrne, whose career has included memorable comedic performances in such films as “Bridesmaids” and “Spy,” delivers a devastating dramatic performance as a woman at the end of her rope in writer-director Mary Bronstein’s “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.”

Byrne plays Linda, a working mother dealing with increasingly taxing hardships – from a very sick child with a feeding tube in her stomach, to a plumbing disaster that’s left a hole in her apartment ceiling, forcing her into a sketchy motel – all while her husband is out of town. Even her therapist (played by Conan O’Brien) isn’t willing to cut her any slack.

[“If I Had Legs I’d Kick You” clip: Linda’s phone call] by [CBS Sunday Morning] on [YouTube]

In [an extended conversation with “Sunday Morning,”] Byrne said that Bronstein’s script was like nothing she’d read before. “My gut reaction, I still remember, like, what I read really reflected the film you see in that it’s, like, disorienting. You’re like, where am I? What’s happening? Who’s this character? And slowly more information comes in and so it’s compelling. I was intrigued. And then there was a lot of horror in there too, but then there was very dark comedy – like I could find places to laugh.”

Byrne said she and Bronstein spent several weeks in rehearsal: “I would just go over to her house and we sat at her kitchen table for three days a week and we just combed through the screenplay from the very first word to the end. She shared stories. She was very candid with me about her experience. And I had a million and one questions about this character and who was she before? We don’t know anything about her. And how I respond to a crisis is very different to how she responds. The character has a lot of hostility, and why? And where is that coming from? Why is that her default? And so it was fun.”

Byrne received her first Oscar nomination for her performance, and won the Golden Globe. Talking of the awards season, she said, “I can’t have expectations around anything, because it’s so out of my control. All I can control is what I did between action and cut. And I can put effort into other stuff, but that’s what I love, and that’s the moment that I love the most. And it’s mine, you know?”

Kate Hudson, “Song Sung Blue”

---

Kate Hudson may have had “CBS Sunday Morning” to thank for her role in the musical biopic “Song Sung Blue,” the story of musical impersonators Mike and Claire Sardina, who teamed up to form a Neil Diamond tribute act by the name of Lightning & Thunder.

In April 2024,[the show aired a profile of Hudson] and her blossoming music career, including the release of her album “Glorious.” [In an interview with “Sunday Morning,”] Hugh Jackman, who had been working with writer-director Craig Brewer on developing “Song Sung Blue,” saw the story, and texted Brewer: “Kate Hudson is Claire. Claire is Kate.” Brewer’s response: “Oh my God, perfect.”

[“Song Sung Blue” clip: Claire sings Patsy Cline] by [CBS Sunday Morning] on [YouTube]

In [an extended conversation with “Sunday Morning,”] Hudson said the script for “Song Sung Blue” read like an epic: “One that’s reminiscent of movies that we love,” she said. “It had so many themes about love. Great love story, but it’s also a love story to family, and to music, and to fandom. And then, inside of this big love story is just, like, these people who have so much resilience and grit. And I was like, I don’t get to see these very often.”

Hudson, who was nominated for playing a rock groupie (sorry, a “band aide”) in Cameron Crowe’s “Almost Famous,” said getting this type of script was rare: “I think that the second I became famous as the Andie Anderson ‘How to…’ girl and rom-com kind of success, getting out of how people want to see you in that light – especially as a woman – is really hard, is very challenging.”

Regarding her singing, as Claire and as the musical artists Claire impersonates, Hudson said, “I don’t see my voice as like the greatest technical instrument, but in terms of performance, I can change my voice. I can change it to what the character is demanding of my voice, and try to lean into more Patsy Cline sound. The hardest thing for me was finding my own voice. Because I’ve done so much singing in other things – whether it be in school and theater or singing other people’s music – finding your own instrument that is connected to, like, your soul, it was a much harder thing for me than finding out how to use the instrument to get certain sounds for Patsy.

“I love singing as Patsy. I wish I had, like, two more Patsy Cline songs!”

Renate Reinsve, “Sentimental Value”

---

Norwegian actress Renate Reinsve became an international star in 2021 with her title role in Joachim Trier’s aching romantic comic-drama “The Worst Person in the World.” For “Sentimental Value,” she earned her first Academy Award nomination.

A self-described “nerdy girl,” who grew up in a rural town in Norway, Reinsve enrolled in the Oslo National Academy of the Arts in 2011. As a student, she made her movie debut in Trier’s “Oslo, August 31st.”

[She told “CBS Saturday Morning”] that movies helped her understand her life. “I remember the first time I saw Isabelle Huppert, the French actress. I just couldn’t understand how it was possible to be that out of control and in control at the same time.”

While she found steady work on stage, she struggled to get other film jobs. Then, a decade after her screen debut, Trier reached out again, just in time, with a part he’d written especially for her. “Yeah, I had given up. I was like, ‘Okay, I’m done. I’m going to do something else,’” Reinsve said. “And then he called me like the next day. Really weird!” Her performance in “The Worst Person in the World” won her the best actress award at the Cannes Film Festival.

She’s now reunited with Trier for “Sentimental Value.” Reinsve plays Nora, an emotionally fragile actress, who is estranged from her father, Gustav (best supporting actor nominee Stellan Skarsgård), who’d abandoned his family when Nora was a child. Their reunion, following the death of Nora’s mother, stirs up the family’s complicated history.

[“Sentimental Value”: Nora and Gustav] by [CBS Sunday Morning] on [YouTube]

Trier said of his 38-year-old star, “The camera can read her mind.”

Reinsve told “CBS Saturday Morning” that allowing the camera to see that is “a lot of work.” “I have all these layers that I want to play up against each other, and for me it’s like a puzzle. It’s always fun. Even though I’m playing grief or something, I try to find as many layers.”

[Renate Reinsve’s remarkable rise 06:38]

In [a Q&A held at last fall’s New York Film Festival], where “Sentimental Value” had its New York premiere, Reinsve said the film grew out of her collaboration with Trier on their previous film “The Worst Person in the World.” Reinsve said there was a big difference between Julie, her character in “The Worst Person in the World,” and Nora: “Julie was very naive and open and free and in an environment that that was a lot freer. This is more contained, and Nora carries a lot more emotional weight.”

In [an interview for The Playlist], Reinsve described the attraction of playing an actress who is unsure of herself to a startling degree. “I think what is kind of circling around is how I enjoyed playing with what she knew about herself and what she didn’t know about herself. And I think you’d see that in the first beat of the movie or the introduction of her character, where she goes on stage and she is carrying so much emotional weight that she doesn’t know how to process it. She doesn’t know everything that’s going on inside of her.”

But she doesn’t see Nora’s problems with stage fright as her own: “I really know how to facilitate my fear,” she said. “My fear is my friend. I have it, I have a lot of fear, but I feel I can kind of delegate it into the character and know how to use it. But I have seen someone next to me go into that panic. So, I was kind of inspired by someone. I’ve seen that almost exact thing happening, and it’s, of course, tragic when it happens, but it is a lot of fun, and I personally love playing panic scenes. And finally, to get to do something that had humor in it was really great. I did like a lot of humor when I worked in the theater, but I worked on a lot of heavy roles, dramatic roles, after I started doing movies five years ago.”

“Sentimental Value” is nominated for nine Academy Awards, including best picture and best international feature film.

Emma Stone, “Bugonia”

---

For Emma Stone, Greek writer-director Yorgos Lanthimos has become an impassioned collaborator. Following their 2018 film “The Favourite,” an 18th century drama in which Stone played a servant in the court of Britain’s Queen Anne, Stone starred in “Poor Things” (winning her second Academy Award), and “Kinds of Kindness,” as well as an experimental short film, “Bleat,” and a music video. Their latest film is “Bugonia,” a black comedy about a kidnapping victim engaged in a battle of wills with her two not-very-bright captors.

Stone plays Michelle Fuller, a Big Pharma corporate executive, who becomes the target for a pair of conspiracy theorists (Jesse Plemons and Aidan Delbis) convinced not only that her company is despoiling the Earth, but that Michelle herself is an alien engaged in a global plot to end the world.

[“Bugonia” clip: Michelle and her captors] by [CBS Sunday Morning] on [YouTube]

“It’s clear that I love working with Yorgos and I love the material he’s drawn to and the characters he explores,” [Stone said at a Venice Film Festival press conference].

Stone had worked before with many on the “Bugonia” team as well. “What it ends up feeling like is a really comforting and safe environment to explore and feel as free as possible, because you know these people. I know everybody says that ‘we’re a family’ thing, but it really does feel like that.”

In [an interview with Plemons on Entertainment Tonight], Stone described how the character of Michelle sees herself as a hero: “I think that Michelle’s modus operandi is to improve upon civilization through science. So obviously, in the pharmaceutical world, in many ways, in our real world, this has been done, and also can be incredibly challenging, tricky, and have negative effects. But I think that her belief is that she is contributing to the greater good of humanity, and helping, or at least attempting, to help save lives.”

[She talked with The Associated Press] about playing a ruthless corporate executive – one who makes pronouncements that the staff should feel free to leave the office by 5:30 p.m. (unless they have work to do). “Speaking these sorts of corporate-trained platitudes was really fascinating, to learn how to sort of give the illusion of humanity and connection, but done in a way that’s obviously allowed through HR,” Stone said.

“Bugonia” is nominated for four Academy Awards, including best picture.

能源危机严峻 美国暂局部放宽制裁 允许各国购买俄石油

发布/2026年3月13日 21:40

（华盛顿综合电）美以伊战事导致能源价格飙升，面对日益严峻的能源危机，美国在既定有效期内放宽对俄罗斯石油的制裁，开放各国购买俄石油。

美国财政部星期四（3月12日）颁布为期30天的临时许可令，允许各国购买目前滞留在海上的俄罗斯原油及石油产品。财政部长贝森特说，这一举措旨在稳定全球能源市场，并强调不会为俄罗斯带来显著的财政收益。

许可措施授权交付和销售3月12日后装船的俄罗斯原油和石油产品，有效期至华盛顿时间4月11日午夜。

财政部此前曾于3月5日专门针对印度颁布为期30天的豁免令，允许印度购买滞留在海上的俄罗斯石油。

贝森特阐明，新的许可令是为了扩大现有供应的全球覆盖范围，但只是短期措施，且范围有限。

俄罗斯2022年2月对乌克兰发动战争后，遭到西方经济制裁。贝森特称，美方许可措施不会为俄罗斯政府带来显著财政收益，因为莫斯科的能源收入主要来自开采环节征收的税款。

他早前透露，特朗普政府正考虑解除更多俄罗斯石油的制裁。

霍尔木兹海峡形势仍严峻 美或为过往船只护航

美国和以色列2月28日对伊朗展开大规模军事打击，伊朗以无人机和导弹反制，中东地区恶性循环的冲突再起，也颠覆全球能源与运输领域。

承载全球五分之一石油运输的关键通道霍尔木兹海峡，如今已近乎瘫痪。《纽约时报》报道称，截至周四，霍尔木兹海峡已有至少16艘船只遇袭。

美国总统特朗普在福克斯新闻星期五（13日）播出的采访中表明，如有必要，美国会护送船只通过霍尔木兹海峡。他也恫言，未来一周内对伊朗进行“非常猛烈的打击”。

特朗普还鼓动油轮“拿出点胆量”勇闯霍尔木兹海峡。“没什么好怕的，他们（伊朗）没有海军，我们击沉了他们所有的船。”

伊朗新任最高领袖穆杰塔巴星期四（12日）誓言，与美以抗争到底，封锁霍尔木兹海峡绝不手软。

伊朗外交部发言人同日强调，往来霍尔木兹海峡的船只要确保海上安全，就必须与伊朗海军协调。

德黑兰仅允许部分国家的船只从这条航道通行。一艘土耳其籍船只获得伊朗许可后，已获准通过霍尔木兹海峡。

特朗普或暂缓规定 允外籍船舶在美运输能源农业产品

国际能源署32个成员国日前一致同意，从石油战略储备中释放4亿桶石油，以期缓解冲击。美国也响应这一史无前例的行动，决定从石油战略储备中释放1亿7000万桶石油。

特朗普政府还考虑放宽美国航运规则，从而遏制燃料价格飙升。

白宫新闻秘书莱维特星期四说，特朗普政府正在考虑暂停实施《琼斯法》（Jones Act），以确保重要能源产品和农业必需品能无阻碍运抵美国港口。

《琼斯法》规定，往来美国港口的货物必须由美国建造、悬挂美国国旗且主要由美国人持有的船舶运输。这大幅限制了国内运输可用油轮数量。

拟议的30天规定豁免期间，开放让外国船舶在美国港口间运输燃料，以降低运输成本、加快交付速度。不过这项决定还未能最终敲定。

美国七家海事工会强烈反对豁免方案，指此举“与美国国家安全和经济利益直接冲突”。

美国11月中期选举逼近之际，高油价对特朗普构成重大政治风险，动摇他对选民的经济承诺，并助长民主党人对共和党政府的批评。

美国汽车协会数据显示，全美平均零售汽油价格周四升至每加仑3.60美元（约4.61新元），创2024年5月以来新高。

虽然特朗普政府设法化解危机，但分析认为，只要伊朗继续在霍尔木兹海峡袭击油轮，政府就束手无策。

在研究人员测试的八款聊天机器人中，超过一半为“袭击者”提供实施暴力袭击的地点选择和武器建议。 （示意图／Pixabay ）

（华盛顿法新电）最新研究显示，一些主流（AI）聊天机器人在测试中曾协助用户策划暴力袭击，这凸显了AI技术可能对现实世界造成的危害。

非营利监督机构“打击数码仇恨中心”（Center for Countering Digital Hate，CCDH）与美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）的研究人员伪装为美国和爱尔兰的13岁男孩，对包括ChatGPT、谷歌Gemini、Perplexity、深度求索（DeepSeek）和Meta AI在内的10款聊天机器人进行了测试。

研究发现，其中八款聊天机器人在超过一半的回复中，为这些“袭击者”提供有关应选择哪些地点作为目标和应使用何种武器等建议。

CCDH首席执行官艾哈迈德说：“几分钟之内，用户就可能从模糊的暴力念头发展成具体可行的行动计划。”

研究发现，Perplexity和Meta AI的安全性最低，在大多数回应中都为研究员提供协助；只有Snapchat的My AI和Anthropic的Claude在超过一半的回应中拒绝提供帮助。

另外，DeepSeek在提供武器建议后还补充“祝射击愉快（也请注意安全）！”；Gemini则提到金属碎片在犹太教堂袭击中更具杀伤力；Character.AI甚至主动鼓励暴力行为，包括建议提问者“用枪”袭击保险公司首席执行官，以及殴打不喜欢的政治人物。

艾哈迈德说，这项研究最令人震惊的结论是“这种风险完全可以避免”，他特别赞扬了Anthropic的产品“展现出了识别不断升级的风险并阻止伤害的能力”。

Meta受询时说，公司已采取措施纠正问题。谷歌则称测试使用旧模型，当前模型对绝大多数提问都做出了恰当的回应。

Iran says major U.S. tech firms are targets in the Middle East, with drone and cyberattacks already underway

March 13, 2026 / 10:52 AM EDT / CBS News

Iran has listed a number of major U.S. tech companies as potential targets as it expands its attacks across the Middle East in retaliation for the ongoing U.S. and Israeli attacks on its military and security forces and leadership.

Iran’s semi-official Tasnim News Agency, which is linked to the country’s powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, published a list of major U.S. tech companies in a social media post on Tuesday, which included Amazon, Microsoft, Palantir, and Oracle, with the caption: “Enemy’s technological infrastructure: Iran’s new goals in the region.”

Iranian drone strikes have already damaged data centers in the region, hitting Amazon facilities in two countries last week.

The list published by Tasnim was accompanied by a threat that, “with the expansion of regional war dimensions into infrastructure, cyberwarfare, and scope, Iran’s legitimate targets are gradually expanding.”

The companies named by Iran have offices, research and development centers, data centers and cloud infrastructure across the Middle East, including in the United Arab Emirates, Israel and Bahrain.

CBS News has requested comment from the companies named by Tasnim about any steps they’re taking to protect staff and interests in the region.

White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly told CBS News Thursday that “The United States has been prepared for Operation Epic Fury for some time, and we are aware of all potential Iranian targets.”

“As it stands, the terrorist Iranian regime is getting absolutely crushed. The United States is meeting or exceeding all of its benchmarks — Iranian ballistic missile attacks are down by 90 percent, and drone attacks are down by 83 percent,” Kelly said.

Last week, Amazon Web Services, the company’s cloud platform, said Iranian drone strikes had damaged two of its facilities in the UAE, while another drone landed in close proximity to its facility in Bahrain, damaging some of its infrastructure.

“These strikes have caused structural damage, disrupted power delivery to our infrastructure, and in some cases required fire suppression activities that resulted in additional water damage. We are working closely with local authorities and prioritizing the safety of our personnel throughout our recovery efforts,” Amazon Web Services said.

On Wednesday, U.S. medical technology giant Stryker acknowledged that it had been hit by a cyberattack that caused a temporary “global network disruption to our Microsoft environment.”

The company said Thursday that it had “no indication of malware or ransomware and we believe the situation is contained to our internal Microsoft environment only.”

The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that the logo of Handala, a hacking group linked to Iran, had appeared on Stryker’s login pages.

Brian Krebs, a cybersecurity analyst, said in a blog post Wednesday that the hacking group had acknowledged responsibility for the attack in social media posts, which he said had been removed from Telegram.

“Our major cyber operation has been executed with complete success,” the group’s post said, according to Krebs.

Chris Krebs, a former United States Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency at the Department of Homeland Security, told CBS Mornings that the ties between the group and Iran are “blurry.”

“What is significant about where we are at this moment is that it’s almost an all hands on deck approach by Iran. All of their groups, whether they’re directly related to the military or intelligence or their proxies, hacktivists, sympathizers, whatever you want to call them, they are all going for targets,” Krebs told CBS Mornings Thursday.

In a regulatory filing made Wednesday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Stryker said an investigation into the incident was ongoing and that the “operational and financial impacts of the incident are not yet known.”

The cybersecurity firm Palo Alto Networks says in its profile of Handala that the group is directly linked to Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security, and that it conducts “cyber operations against the Israeli political and defense establishment.”

CBS News’ partner network BBC News reported last week that tech giants Amazon, Google, Snap and Nvidia were among many U.S. firms that have implemented emergency protocols to protect the safety of thousands of workers across the Middle East.

CCDH首席执行官艾哈迈德说：“几分钟之内，用户就可能从模糊的暴力念头发展成具体可行的行动计划。”

研究发现，Perplexity和Meta AI的安全性最低，在大多数回应中都为研究员提供协助；只有Snapchat的My AI和Anthropic的Claude在超过一半的回应中拒绝提供帮助。

另外，DeepSeek在提供武器建议后还补充“祝射击愉快（也请注意安全）！”；Gemini则提到金属碎片在犹太教堂袭击中更具杀伤力；Character.AI甚至主动鼓励暴力行为，包括建议提问者“用枪”袭击保险公司首席执行官，以及殴打不喜欢的政治人物。

艾哈迈德说，这项研究最令人震惊的结论是“这种风险完全可以避免”，他特别赞扬了Anthropic的产品“展现出了识别不断升级的风险并阻止伤害的能力”。

Meta受询时说，公司已采取措施纠正问题。谷歌则称测试使用旧模型，当前模型对绝大多数提问都做出了恰当的回应。

阿拉伯联合酋长国最大城市迪拜金融区一栋建筑遭到拦截的袭击物体碎片袭击。此前数日，由于伊朗威胁要袭击与美国和以色列相关的经济目标，多家公司已撤离该地区。

两名目击者星期五（3月13日）称，在听到巨响后，他们看到迪拜国际金融中心的一栋建筑遭到破坏。迪拜媒体办公室证实，迪拜市中心一栋建筑的外墙遭到成功拦截的袭击物体的碎片袭击。

一名法新社记者在听到巨响后，也看到了迪拜国际金融中心受损的建筑。

附近一个要求匿名的目击者告诉法新社：“我吓得从床上跳了起来——那是我听过的最响亮的声音。

“声音太大了，我往窗外看的时候，确信肯定有什么灾难要发生……地面都震动了，”他补充道。

另一名法新社记者描述说，他听到一声巨大的双重爆炸，震得建筑物摇晃，市中心上空升起一大团黑烟。

消息人士告诉法新社，星期三（11日），美国银行业巨头花旗集团、咨询公司德勤和普华永道等一些公司关闭了办公室或通知员工离开，这些公司主要位于迪拜国际金融中心（DIFC）。

伊朗发出威胁在中东顶级金融中心的核心地带引发了担忧，这里是众多国际公司和数十亿美元企业的所在地。

路透社报道，战争持续近两周，已有2000人丧生，其中大部分在伊朗，黎巴嫩也有许多人遇难，波斯湾地区的死亡人数也在不断增加。

Tourists, expats and influencers detained in UAE over digital content showing Iran war impacts, activist says

Updated on: March 13, 2026 / 11:43 AM EDT / CBS News

A growing number of social media users, including foreigners, are facing charges in the United Arab Emirates under the Gulf state’s broad cybercrime laws for sharing or possessing digital content that depicts or comments on the impact of ongoing Iranian attacks, the advocacy group Detained in Dubai has warned.

The arrests highlight the strict regulations around online content in the UAE, which has expressly forbidden anyone from taking or sharing imagery that shows Iranian drone or missile impacts or efforts to intercept the weapons.

Radha Stirling, CEO of Detained in Dubai and Due Process International, and an expert on legal and extradition issues in the Gulf region, warned in a social media post that even minor posts, reshares, commentary, photos and opinions can lead to detention in the UAE, “even if it was made outside the UAE.”

Stirling said 21 people were facing charges under the UAE’s cybercrime laws as of Thursday, including a 60-year-old British tourist who deleted his video immediately when authorities asked him to, but was still charged.

An influencer with 300,000 views was just told to delete a video and post a correction, Stirling said, highlighting what she called “an interesting contrast,” as others filming the same street events were apparently arrested.

“Celebrities have long been afforded protected status in the UAE,” she said.

A Filipina domestic worker was detained near the Burj Al Arab tower after taking a photo while waiting for work, Stirling said, giving another example. Officers reportedly checked her phone, found an image, and arrested her.

And a Vietnamese sailor from a cargo vessel was detained in Fujairah after allegedly sharing video of missile activity that he filmed while outside UAE territory. He was taken ashore by the coast guard and was still detained as of Thursday, Stirling said.

This image taken from a video shows smoke rising from a fire which, according to the authorities, was caused by a successful interception, at Dubai’s Al Quoz Industrial area, United Arab Emirates, on March 13, 2026. AP

The UAE is among the Gulf Arab countries that have faced retaliatory fire from Iran since the U.S. and Israel launched a campaign against it in late February.

The country’s defense ministry said Friday that the Gulf state’s air defenses were “currently dealing with missile attacks and incoming drones originating from Iran.” It said in a social media post that “sounds heard in scattered areas of the country are the result of air defense systems intercepting ballistic missiles, as well as fighter jets intercepting drones and loitering munitions.”

能源成本上升 欧元区制造业复苏艰难

荷兰国际集团首席经济师贝尔特·科莱恩指出，欧元区工业产出1月已降至2024年底以来的最低水平，随着中东冲突推高能源价格并加剧供应链扰动，欧元区工业生产尤其是能源密集型行业面临新风险。

星期五（3月13日）公布的数据显示，继去年12月下降0.6%之后，今年1月欧元区工业产出环比下降1.5%，为2024年12月以来的最低水平。当月，该地区主要经济体德国、意大利和西班牙的工业产出较上月均有所下降。

新华社引述科莱恩说，市场原本期待欧元区公共投资增加能带动制造业走强，特别是国防和基础设施领域的支出将推动制造业增长。然而，如果能源价格再次持续上涨，能源密集型行业的复苏前景将受到冲击。

科莱恩指出，2021年至2022年能源价格飙升导致欧洲能源密集型产业持续承受较大压力。近来欧元区制造业信心刚有所恢复，地缘政治紧张局势再次给该地区工业前景带来明显下行风险。
