UAE says no new leak found on tanker Gem No.2

The official all-clear is doing more work than the original leak report, which is itself the signal: in a region where tanker incidents are read as geopolitical barometers, a state news agency correcting the record matters more than the initial claim. The absence of detail on the vessel's condition or location leaves the clarification only partly reassuring. Whether independent tracking or the ship's own operators corroborate the UAE statement is the open question, and the gap between official assurances and verifiable vessel data is where risk perception tends to live.
