UAE announces to exit OPEC and OPEC+ effective May 1, 2026

UAE ENERGY MINISTER, WHEN ASKED WHETHER SAUDI ARABIA WAS CONSULTED: WE DID NOT CONSULT DIRECTLY WITH ANYONE FOR THE DECISION

Trump: Iran has just informed us that they are in a “State of Collapse.” They want us to “Open the Hormuz Strait,” as soon as possible, as they try to figure out their leadership situation (Which I believe they will be able to do!). Thank you for your attention to this matter!

IRAN Mission to UN: Iran is not a party to the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. Therefore, it is not bound by its treaty-based provisions.

China is poised to resume exporting jet fuel, gasoline and diesel from May, in a move that could significantly ease the worldwide shortages caused by the Iran conflict.

The country’s large state oil companies have applied for export permits to ship fuel in May, according to several trading sources, signalling that a ban that was introduced at the start of the war to protect domestic supplies may be relaxed.

Before the war began, China was exporting almost 800,000 barrels a day of refined fuels, according to data from Kpler. That total roughly halved in April.

TRUMP AND OIL COMPANIES DISCUSSED STEPS TO CONTINUE IRAN BLOCKADE FOR MONTHS IF NEEDED

Also few hours ago: In recent meetings, including a Monday discussion in the Situation Room, Trump opted to continue squeezing Iran’s economy and oil exports by preventing shipping to and from its ports. He assessed that his other options—resume bombing or walk away from the conflict—carried more risk than maintaining the blockade, officials said.
