FRANKFURT, March 5 (Reuters) – Euro zone banks face only a limited direct impact from the war in Iran, but the larger danger lies in how a weakened economy might feed back into lenders’ balance sheets, a senior European Central Bank supervisor told Reuters.

In a wide-ranging interview, Pedro Machado addressed concerns stretching from Middle East tensions to the recent wobble in private markets, while warning that a boom in complex securitisation deals merits closer scrutiny.

The threat of a broader conflict in the Middle East has sharpened fears of another inflation burst and renewed pressure on growth in the euro zone, which depends on Persian Gulf suppliers for some of its gas and on Suez Canal routes for Asian goods.

Machado, one of the ECB’s top bank watchdogs, said euro zone banks’ direct exposure to Iran and Israel was small relative to their ability to absorb losses at 0.7% of core capital for assets, such as loans, and 0.6% for liabilities like bank bonds.

“Even if you include neighboring countries, the exposures are pretty contained, representing slightly less than 1% of supervised entities’ total assets,” he said in an interview.

DUBAI/JERUSALEM/ANKARA, March 5 (Reuters) – Israel launched a large wave of strikes on Tehran on Thursday, targeting what it said was infrastructure belonging to the Iranian authorities, after Iranian missiles sent millions of Israelis rushing into bomb shelters.

As the U.S.–Iran war entered its sixth day, the conflict has widened beyond the Persian Gulf states and into Asia, convulsing global markets and prompting thousands of stranded tourists and residents to try to flee the Middle East.

In Washington late on Wednesday, Republican senators blocked a motion aimed at stopping the U.S. air campaign against Iran and requiring that military action be authorized by Congress. That rejection leaves President Donald Trump’s power to direct the war largely unbound, as the conflict continues to widen across the Middle East and beyond.

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told his Israeli counterpart Israel Katz by telephone: “Keep going until the end – we’re with you”, according to a statement issued by Israel’s defence ministry on Thursday.

BAKU, March 5 (Reuters) – Missiles and drones flyi

BAKU, March 5 (Reuters) – Missiles and drones flying from the direction of Iran fell on the territory of the airport in the Azerbaijani exclave of Nakhchivan on Thursday, a source close to the Azerbaijani government told Reuters.

A fire has started as a result of the incident, the source said, adding that an official statement would soon follow. It was not immediately clear how many missiles and drones fell in the area.

Video footage shared by the source showed black smoke rising near the terminal of Nakhchivan International Airport, which is about 10 km (6 miles) from the border with Iran.

March 4 — Birmingham, UK Celebrations and dancing

March 4 — Birmingham, UK
Celebrations and dancing broke out outside the Imam Reza Islamic Cultural Centre in Birmingham as demonstrators marked the reported death of Ali Khamenei.
A crowd gathered outside the centre — located on Hospital Street and registered as a religious charity in Birmingham — where protesters danced to a DJ remix built around a clip of President Donald Trump declaring: “Ayatollah Khamenei is dead.”
The Imam Reza centre is part of a network of UK-based Shia Islamic institutions that have drawn scrutiny from critics who say they promote the ideology of the Islamic Republic.
