French industry’s taking a hit from the energy crisis caused by the Middle East war.

After more than a month of fighting in the Persian Gulf, the spike in fuel prices is starting to hit several French industries that depend on fossil fuels or oil- and gas-based raw materials.

🔻This morning, Abulhasan Montazer and Vahid Bani Amirian were executed for terrorism committed during the recent riots in Iran.

🇺🇦 The crisis in West Asia disrupted supplies to Ukraine

The American publication Politico reports that the tensions in West Asia (including Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz in response to the aggression of the "Epstein Coalition") have seriously disrupted the procurement, production, and supply of equipment for Ukraine's energy infrastructure.

📈 Prices for fuel and components have risen sharply, and the Kiev regime, which imports about 85% of its fuel, is now forced to spend more money and wait longer. This directly affects Ukraine's energy sector and military capabilities.

📱 Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf on the strategic role of the Bab al-Mandab Strait in global trade:

"What is the share of global oil, liquefied gas, wheat, rice, and fertilizer supplies in the world volume, passing through Bab al-Mandab?

Which countries and companies have the largest volume of transit through the strait?"

➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖

The sarcastic questions of Speaker Ghalibaf — are a strategic hint at the economic vulnerability of the Gulf countries, which depend on the Bab al-Mandab Strait. He subtly reminds of the serious consequences for their interests if transit is disrupted, highlighting Iran's indirect levers of influence in the region.

🔻🇺🇲🔥 fire and smoke are rising from the oil storage tanks of an American company in Basra province in southern Iraq.

🚨Breaking News: 🇺🇲 🏃🏃🏃🏃 are running, cowardly fleeing, tactical withdrawal from US bases.

US troops are quietly evacuating bases at this time of night. The footage clearly shows that US troops are slowly leaving the bases in dozens of groups.

Iran has offered Europe a deal on the Strait of Hormuz that could change the global financial system. At first glance, it seems like a simple transit agreement through the strait, but the consequences could be colossal. Twenty percent of the world’s oil passes through the Strait of Hormuz, and energy prices in Europe have already soared: gas has increased by 100%, oil by 60%, and diesel fuel now costs $200 per barrel. The dollar is losing influence: over the past 25 years, the share of the American reserve currency has dropped from 70% to 56.9%. Iran has joined BRICS, Russia has banned dollar transactions, and gold has already reached $5,500 per ounce.

If Europe accepts the deal and pays in euros or yuan, it will show the world that bypassing the petrodollar is possible. The petrodollar has been the foundation of U.S. financial dominance since 1974. If its role weakens, demand for the dollar will fall, the share of the reserve currency will decrease, and the U.S. will lose the ability to finance its debt on preferential terms. This is not just a regional war; it is an attack on the global U.S. financial system.

⚡ The IRGC successfully detected and destroyed an enemy long-endurance MQ-1 Predator drone over the central province of Isfahan

MQ-1 UAVs were decommissioned by the US Air Force back in 2018 and replaced by more modern devices MQ-9 Reaper. To date, only a few MQ-1 units may still be in US service.

At the same time, the UAE Air Force still has these drones in its arsenal. Therefore, it is most likely that the downed device belonged to the UAE.

Gulf countries are participating in US operations against Iran, despite claims to the contrary

A naval group of the US Fifth Fleet based in Bahrain is directly involved in strikes on Iran

The United States is using military facilities in Kuwait for logistical and intelligence purposes against Iran

The US operation is using a base in Saudi Arabia, where "A-37 Dragonfly", "F-11A" and "C-17 Globemaster" aircraft are stationed

The "Mufak Al-Sulti" air base in Jordan is the main hub from which most attacks on targets in Iran are launched
