More LNG, Japan-linked vessels transit Hormuz despite renewed Mideast tensions

“What’s different now, compared to the start of the conflict, is that Iran is striking vessels using the ’Omani route’ rather ‌than targeting all vessels, which means vessels will increasingly turn towards the ’Iranian route’ or transit dark when transiting through the strait,” said Xavier Tang, a senior market analyst at Vortexa.

Meanwhile, 22 Japan-linked vessels, including six large crude oil tankers, transited the strait to exit between July 7 and 9, leaving only four vessels in the Gulf, Japan ​transport minister ​Yasushi Kaneko told a news conference on Friday.

Oil prices rise 5%, and stocks drop worldwide after Trump says ceasefire with Iran is ‘over’

Oil prices rose, and stock markets dropped in shaky trading worldwide Wednesday after President Donald Trump raised doubts about the temporary truce in the war with Iran.

The S&P 500 fell as much as 1.1% after Trump said the agreement to pause fighting was “over,” but the index then trimmed its loss to 0.3% after Trump said the most recent exchange of fire with the Islamic Republic did not herald a return to full-scale war. They’re his latest mixed messages on what will happen with the war, which threatens to worsen inflation for the world.

US CENTCOM says aircraft struck Iranian ‘missile and drone’ storage locations

US Central Command (CENTCOM) has announced that it has conducted strikes against Iran following Tehran’s attack on a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump Says Iran Attack on Cargo Ship Violated the Cease-fire

The strike on the vessel, the Ever Lovely, a container ship that was passing near the Omani side of the strait, appeared to be the first known Iranian attack on a commercial vessel since the signing of a preliminary peace agreement between Tehran and Washington last week. It laid bare the challenges to restoring prewar levels of traffic through the strait, a crucial conduit for oil and gas shipping.

IRGC pounds US bases in Kuwait, Bahrain after drone attacks on Iranian territory

In a statement on Saturday morning, the IRGC said that at 1:30 am, four violating oil tankers, instigated and guided by the aggressive American army and without coordination or attention to repeated warnings from the IRGC Navy, attempted to illegally exit the Strait of Hormuz.

Following warnings, one of the tankers was targeted and stopped, and the other violating vessels turned back, it said.

According to the statement, following this incident, at 2:30 am, American drones struck a telecommunications mast on Qeshm Island and another mast in Sirik with two projectiles.

It added that in response to the aggression of the American army, the IRGC’s Aerospace Force immediately launched ballistic missiles toward two US air bases in Kuwait, identifying one of them as Ali Al Salem, as well as important remaining facilities of the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain.

Tom Steyer for Governor of California

Yes, Tom Steyer is a billionaire. But it matters what he is doing with that power: pushing for taxes on the wealthy, expanding universal programs, and dismantling corporate influence in our politics.

This is also about winning.

In a high-stakes race where Republicans could take the top spot, consolidating behind a candidate who is both values-aligned and building momentum is essential. Our organizers on the ground in California are seeing real energy around Steyer for Governor — and that grassroots engagement helped drive this decision.

SAN FRANCISCO – Today, Our Revolution, America’s largest grassroots independent political organizing group, announced its endorsement of Tom Steyer for Governor of California, joining a surge of prominent endorsers getting behind Steyer’s campaign as early voting approaches. Our Revolution was founded as a continuation of Bernie Sanders’s historic 2016 presidential campaign and works to mobilize voters and elect progressive candidates across the country. In the coming months, it will mobilize its more than one million Californian members to organize and volunteer in support of Steyer’s candidacy.

It is painful that the one person who has spent the past decades aggressively supporting democracy, fighting for immigrant rights, fighting the tendency toward oligarchy in our politics, and challenging the fossil fuel industry is himself a billionaire. But the facts are that Tom Steyer will not veto the billionaire’s tax, has pledged to support closing the Water’s Edge Tax loophole, and has pledged to not take fossil fuel money.

Trump Says Gas Prices Might Not Drop by Midterms, Underscoring G.O.P. Peril

(April 12, 2026)

Mr. Trump had long downplayed a sharp spike in gas prices driven by the war in Iran by casting it as a “short-term increase” that would subside within weeks. But on Sunday, Mr. Trump told Fox News that while he hoped gas and oil costs would drop before the midterms, prices “should be around the same” in November — and might be “a little bit higher.”

Die Neuordnung des Ölhandels beginnt

Für viele Beobachter steckt dahinter weit mehr als eine formale Entscheidung: Der Schritt markiert den Beginn einer neuen Ära der Energie- und Handelsströme im Nahen Osten – und zugleich das Ende des klassischen Petrodollars.

So argumentiert etwa Patrick Wood in einem ausführlichen Essay. Der Austritt ist freilich eine direkte Folge des Krieges gegen den Iran.

Die OPEC war jahrzehntelang das Rückgrat des Petrodollar-Systems.

UAE’s shock OPEC exit: What it means for the oil cartel’s future and for crude prices

The United Arab Emirates’ exit from OPEC this week will weaken the influence of the cartel and its leader Saudi Arabia on the oil market, a development that could prove bearish for prices over the long term.

The UAE was the most influential member of OPEC behind Saudi Arabia. It was one of the few members, along with Saudi Arabia, that had meaningful spare production capacity to influence prices and respond to supply shocks, said Jorge León, head of geopolitical analysis at Rystad Energy.

UAE to withdraw from OPEC, in blow to oil cartel and Saudi Arabia

OPEC is a cartel of major oil-producing nations that coordinates production policies to influence global oil supply and prices.

The UAE is also leaving OPEC+, which includes Russia, the statement said.

The move marks a major blow to OPEC and its leading member, Saudi Arabia. The cartel collectively accounts for 36% of the world’s oil production and together controls almost 80% of the world’s total proven reserves.

The real reason Iran and the US cannot end the war: Money

n Iranian business newspaper reported in April that reconstruction would take at least 12 years.

“The nuclear issue is honestly Betamax now,” Alan Eyre, a former member of the US team that negotiated the Iran nuclear deal, told MEE, referring to the now obsolete 1975 video cassette player.

“Everyone is talking about what the Iranians are willing to give up. But that is largely a function of what they are willing to get,” he added. „What the Iranians want is money.“

Eyre said there are four ways Iran can be compensated for a deal that reopens the Strait of Hormuz and ends with an agreement on its nuclear programme: reparations, tolling, unblocking frozen assets, and sanctions relief. Of the four, he believes a toll in the Strait of Hormuz is the likeliest path for a deal.
