Iraqi oil production collapses with Strait of Hormuz blocked by conflict, sources say  Reuters

Iraqi oil production collapses as Hormuz still blocked by US-Iran war, sources say Iraqi oil production from its main southern oilfields has fallen by 70% to just 1.3 million barrels per day as the country is unable to export oil via the Strait of Hormuz due to the Iran war, 3 industry sources said on Sunday. Production from the fields stood at around 4.3 million bpd before the war.

UAE officials deny Israeli reports of strike inside Iran MEE staff on Sun, 03/08/2026 - 15:17 Abu Dhabi is 'struggling to understand Israeli conduct' and media briefings, says one official People walk as smoke rises in the background after a reported strike on the Shahran fuel tanks in Tehran, Iran, on 8 March 2026 (WANA/Majid Asgaripour via Reuters) Off United Arab Emirates (UAE) officials have denied Israeli media reports that Abu Dhabi took part in an air strike on an Iranian water desalination plant. In a statement issued on Sunday, the Emirati foreign ministry said the country was acting “in a state of defence” in response to attacks from Iran but “does not seek to be drawn into conflicts or escalation”. The statement came after several Israeli media outlets, citing anonymous sources, reported that the UAE was behind an attack on a desalination facility in Iran. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Saturday that a freshwater desalination plant had been bombed by the United States on Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz, disrupting water supplies to 30 villages. Both the US and Israel denied carrying out the attack. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Emirati officials were also quick to reject claims that the UAE was responsible after Israeli media briefings suggested it may have been involved. Dr Ali Rashid Al Nuaimi, a member of the UAE’s Federal National Council and chairman of the Defense Affairs, Interior and Foreign Affairs Committee, described the reports on X as “fake news”. “When we do something, we have the courage to announce it,” he added. A senior Emirati official told The Jerusalem Post, one of the outlets that first reported the claim, that Abu Dhabi was “struggling to understand Israeli conduct and the nature of the briefings coming out”. The official accused Israeli sources of leaking the reports. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); “It is not appropriate for what is described as a ‘senior Israeli source’ to speak on our behalf or spread rumours about the actions of another sovereign state,” the source said. Untrue Israeli reports Several Israeli media outlets have published similar claims since the war on Iran began last week that later proved to be untrue. Last week, reports emerged that Qatar had carried out strikes inside Iran, a claim quickly denied by Doha. Threats to water supply and food inflation stalk Gulf states Read More » Israeli media have also repeatedly reported that Gulf states, including Saudi Arabia, were preparing to bomb Iran imminently. Iran has been striking what it describes as US bases and assets in the Gulf almost daily since the US-Israel war began last week.  Gulf states have condemned the attacks, saying they violate their sovereignty and warning that they reserve the right to respond. The reported strike on the desalination facility has raised wider concerns about the risks to water infrastructure in the Gulf. More than 400 desalination plants line the Gulf, accounting for around 60 percent of the world’s desalination capacity. In the UAE, about 90 percent of drinking water comes from desalination plants. The figure is also around 90 percent in Kuwait, 86 percent in Oman and about 70 percent in Saudi Arabia. The reported bombing of the Iranian facility came on the same day Israeli air strikes hit fuel storage facilities in Tehran, causing large fires and raising concerns about potential attacks on critical infrastructure as the conflict escalates.

‘This war has not been thought through’

I study geopolitics as a hobby and spent the past few weeks putting together a long-form structural analysis of the current conflict: from the Hormuz closure mechanics to the European energy situation, Ukraine, and where this ends. Please note that I have no institutional affiliation nor credentials. I'm posting here because I want it stress-tested by people who know more than I do.
