The Iran War is Causing Energy Chaos in Asia  Council on Foreign Relations

As the U.S. and Israel’s war against Iran continues to upend energy markets and supply chains worldwide, the Trump administration says it will temporarily waive maritime shipping requirements under a more than century-old law known as the Jones Act

Trump and Netanyahu now allow that their confidence in the Iranian people rising up when the bombings stop may be misplaced. But they cannot end this war without the removal of Iran's uranium stockpile, and a commitment to keep returning until the regime is gone The post Regimes are ousted from within, but the US and Israel must not let up until that happens in Iran appeared first on The Times of Israel.

Nick Timothy said an event attended by the mayor of London that included prayers was an ‘act of domination’ Polanski says the government should be doing more to improve home insulation, and on the drive towards renewable energy. And he says the government should commit to ensuring energy bills do not rise above the April-June price cap. The government should guarantee right now that it will not allow energy bills to rise beyond the April-June price cap – instead setting aside approximately £8.4bn to prevent a rise of up to £300 per household that could be coming down the track. No, it’s not cheap. But the alternative is unacceptable: if the price cap rises, we will see interest rate rises. Mortgage rates up. Bond yields up. And inflation up – and we will be back into the doom loop that has done untold damage to our economy and caused misery for households across the UK for years now. There are ways to pay. Instead of scrapping the windfall tax on energy companies, as this government is planning to do, we should be strengthening it instead. We need a real, loophole-free windfall tax with no exemptions for reinvesting in fossil fuels. A robust tax that claws back every single pound of reckless profiteering from this crisis and repurposes it immediately to protect every home in the country. And while taxing extreme wealth in the ways we need to will take time to implement, there are levers the government could pull right now – like equalising capital gains tax with income tax and reforming the base, to raise £12bn. It’s time for the government to act decisively, eliminate the uncertainty that is plaguing people and the markets and insulate us from some of the worst economic effects of Trump’s war. This was not a war of self-defence, there was no imminent threat. Negotiations were ongoing. It was, as the BBC’s international editor said, a war of choice. People across the Middle East are terrified of what Trump and Netanyanhu’s war will mean for them and their loved ones. And the repercussions are echoing across the world as instability spreads and oil prices spike. People are already struggling so hard just to make ends meet. People feel like they’re running every day just to stay in the same place. The idea that yet again – for the second time in just a few years – that we are going to have to deal with another enormous spike in the cost of the basics is unacceptable. It’s unacceptable because we didn’t need to be here. It’s unforgivable that just four years after we last saw an energy price shock, that one triggered by Putin’s illegal invasion of Ukraine, far too little has been done to protect this country, its people, and its economy – from the impact of yet another energy price shock.

Iran threatens to strike Gulf energy facilities after South Pars attack  Al Jazeera

By Steven Scheer TEL AVIV, March 18 (Reuters) - Iran has launched dozens of missiles with cluster munition warheads at Israel since the start of the war, posing a challenge for Israel's missile defence shield as they need to be hit before they split and disperse into smaller explosives. Israel failed to intercept one of the cluster missiles overnight, and its small bomblets scattered into civilian areas in Tel Aviv. A couple in their 70s was killed, and one of Tel Aviv's main train stations suffered damage.

TEHRAN, Mar. 18 (MNA) – The spokesman for the Central Headquarters of Khatam al-Anbiya says that the oil and gas infrastructre of countries from where attacks on Iran's fields were launched will be targeted.

Booker and “Senate Six” “Declare War on Iran War”  Insider NJ

Top US intelligence official offered Senate lawmakers contradictory assessments on whether Iran sought to rebuild its uranium enrichment capabilities after US B2 bomber strikes last year.

Jeremy Corbyn accuses UK government of 'direct involvement' in Iran strikes Former leader of the Labour Party and Independent MP Jeremy Corbyn challenged British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper’s claim that UK bases are only being used for “defensive strikes” against Iranian missiles.  This comes after reports on Friday that US military personnel and ground crew were spotted loading and preparing weapons for operation at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, including three B-52 bombers - which can carry up to 24 cruise missiles - and four B-1 bombers. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer agreed to grant permission for the US to use UK bases for the “specific and limited defensive purpose” of destroying Iran’s missiles “at source”. Corbyn said yesterday in parliament that “the reality is, if a bomber takes off from RAF Fairford and bombs civilian targets in Iran, we are involved in that act of aggression against the people of Iran”. He called for the UK government to join Spain in “saying ‘no’ to the USA”.

A three-time Donald Trump voter had some harsh words for the president after gas prices surged amid the ongoing Iranian conflict.
