Following the United States intervention in Venezuela on 3rd January, which brought an end to President Nicolás Maduro’s 13-year dictatorship, all eyes have been on the South American country’s oil industry. Once one of the world’s biggest oil producers, output has waned in recent years. However, with U.S. President Trump setting his sights on Venezuelan crude, many are speculating just how quickly its resources can be tapped. While the focus is on Venezuela’s potential as an oil power, others think that more immediate…

Another narrowly missed a school building, according to a statement issued by Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry. Azerbaijani anti-air defenses shot down one of the drones, the statement added.

Americans are experiencing a sharp rise in gas prices this week, with the national average gasoline price posting its largest weekly jump since the early days of the Russia-Ukraine war. If fuel prices continue to climb as the U.S.-Israeli Operation Epic Fury intensifies against Iran, the fallout for consumer sentiment may weigh on the broader economy and affect voting polls in the near term. The surge in gasoline and diesel prices at pumps nationwide doesn't appear to be a concern for President Trump (at least not yet). "I don't have…

The national average price of gasoline in the United States has jumped to the highest level seen during either of President Donald Trump’s terms in office, per GasBuddy data, as the de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz is holding back millions of barrels of crude and fuel supplies and leading to price spikes.   WTI Crude, the U.S. benchmark, jumped from $67 per barrel on February 27, just before the Iran war started, to above $84 per barrel a week later as of early Friday. Oil prices are on track for at least a 16% weekly jump…

Brent tops $90 as the Strait of Hormuz closure halts Gulf oil flows and Iraq and Kuwait begin cutting output, fueling fears of a sharper price surge. Friday, March 06, 2026 When a US President declares that there would be no deal with Iran except for ‘unconditional surrender’, the oil markets rally. Hence, there should be nothing surprising about ICE Brent jumping above $90 per barrel for the first time since April 2024, as the closure of Strait of Hormuz continues, with zero crude oil movement out of the Persian Gulf. With Iraq and…

The United States produces more crude oil than any country in history, pumping more than 13.5 million barrels per day. On paper, that suggests a high level of energy security. But energy security for different states depends on infrastructure and access. For the 39 million residents of California, independence is largely geographic fiction. If the Strait of Hormuz remains constrained, attention will focus on Asia’s large crude importers. Yet a close look at U.S. pipeline maps and refinery configurations shows that California is uniquely exposed…
