🛢 The market is largely pricing in a US oil export ban: Brent less WTI spread is the widest in decades (ex the negative WTI print).

Export ban would landlock US oil, sending it sharply lower while sending Brent soaring

Despite Saudis claiming a ballistic missile interception, footage shows a fire at the SAMREF refinery in Yanbu allegedly hit with a drone, in western Saudi Arabia.

This is one of 2 major remaining export routes for Persian Gulf Arab oil after Iran effectively shut the Strait of Hormuz.

Satellite image of the village of Maroun Al Ras on the border with Israel.

The village was completely destroyed by Israeli bombs. It already suffered extensive damage during the 2023-2024 campaigns against Hezbollah but now virtually no structure in the village is left standing.

The IDF used to claim in the 2023-2024 war that Hezbollah was hiding missiles in the basement of every home in South Lebanon when in reality, they use that as an excuse to erase every town and prepare the land for future colonization.

Qatar’s Prime Minister:

This war needs to stop immediately. The aggression needs to stop immediately.

Because everyone knows who the main beneficiary of this war is, and dragging the whole region into this conflict is.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan:

Israel has also begun implementing its occupation and destruction policies in Lebanon, as it has done in Gaza.

The international community should act to block Israel’s expansionism and assume the necessary responsibility against these opportunistic policies.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan:

Yesterday evening Abbas Araghchi called me.

There was this dialogue: “While you are calling us, missiles are now coming from the sky.”

There were missiles intercepted in Riyadh.

Fidan has spoken about Lebanon and South Lebanon more than the Lebanese PM and Foreign minister ever did

Our MoFA was busy giggling all his way with people and even went to Al-Hadath TV to gloat and compliment their "spectacular and accurate coverage"

Power outages are reported in Kiryat Ata, which is adjacent to the Haifa Oil Refinery which was hit.

Sirens sound in the northern city of Karmiel and nearby towns following rocket fire from Lebanon.

🥀 According to reports from Syria, Takfiri groups have killed Abbas Assaf—the brother of martyr Reza, who fell in the battles of Khiam in southern Lebanon—in his village in Homs.

Reza was killed in Lebanon fighting alongside Hezbullah in Khiyam town or nearby

The body of Abbass will be sent to Lebanon for burial

Israel’s strike on Iran’s South Pars gas field triggered retaliation, with Iran targeting major oil and gas facilities across Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE.

As a result, Brent crude surged past $116 a barrel, while gas prices jumped roughly 25%.

Fire too big to hide. Only reason they didn't censor it.
