Blockaden av Hormuzsundet har fått bränslepriser att skjuta i höjden, med protester över hela världen som följd. Men det moderna livsmedelssystemets beroende av samma fossila ämnen – och en ”perfekt storm” av faktorer – gör att världen snart också kan stå inför en matkris.

US President Donald Trump stated that a potential agreement with Iran had been “largely negotiated,” with reopening the Strait of Hormuz emerging as one of the central objectives of ongoing diplomatic efforts aimed at ending the conflict and restoring regional stability.

Developing economies are rejecting the climate dogma that demands their perpetual impoverishment. They are actively expanding coal mining operations to ensure a steady supply of domestic fuel. This protects their economies from the wild price swings of imported LNG.

According to American Enterprise Institute's Kori Schake , when the US struck Iran, it was easily foreseeable that Tehran would move against the Strait of Hormuz. Washington failed to predeploy forces to counter that, and now the US is paying for it. The distant blockade prevents Iran from fully profiting from its position, but it doesn't reopen the waterway. Commercial shipping won't run…
A ceasefire is holding, barely, but the US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz isn't forcing real concessions from Tehran. Iran is betting Trump has no appetite for renewed war, and they may be right. Gas prices are climbing toward $5 a gallon and a global recession looms.
Meanwhile Russia is cashing in. Higher oil prices are refilling Kremlin coffers just as pressure over Ukraine…

Non chiedere di autorizzare una nuova missione militare nel Golfo, ma condividere con il Parlamento, nel quadro di un confronto aperto e trasparente, l’impegno del governo per la pace.

Japanese convenience store snack sections are going to be looking drab later this month.

Non è retorica, ma realtà. Ovvero è dal Mediterraneo che può arrivare una doppia risposta alle crisi attuali: una spinta nella direzione della pace, anche grazie al ruolo del Vaticano ed uno stimolo a che Medio Oriente ed Europa dialoghino proprio grazie al ruolo geopolitico del mare nostrum. Questa la traccia che il ministro degli […]

The warning from Pete Hegseth came on the second day of a US effort to facilitate […]

La risposta dell’Ue alla crisi energetica, figlia del caos a Hormuz, si ritrova in due provvedimenti: consentire alle compagnie di combustibili fossili di superare i limiti di inquinamento imposti dall’Ue e permettere agli Stati membri di sostenere l’economia di settori più esposti come agricoltura, pesca, trasporti e industrie ad alta intensità energetica tramite un quadro […]

Sono due le parole chiave pronunciate da Giorgia Meloni alla vigilia del delicato consiglio europeo a Cipro di giovedì e venerdì: contromanovrare e pragmatismo.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump agreed Tuesday evening to a two-week ceasefire with Iran, at least delaying his threat of a catastrophic attack on the country’s civilian population as he said the countries were near a long-term peace agreement. The ceasefire was negotiated with Pakistani leaders as intermediaries, Trump said in a post to his social […]

One French- and another Japanese-owned vessel are among a handful of vessels to have crossed the war-torn Strait of Hormuz, maritime tracking data showed Friday. The passage, a vital maritime route for oil and liquified natural gas, has been virtually blocked by Iran since the start of the war. But both ships made the crossing […]

Da una parte ci sono le rassicurazioni del Segretario di Stato americano Marco Rubio, secondo cui lo Stretto di Hormuz potrebbe riaprire non appena l’Iran smetterà di minacciare la navigazione.

Sono due gli elementi politici che scaturiscono dal primo giorno del consiglio europeo: l’esigenza di riportare la diplomazia “al centro” dello stretto di Hormuz per restringere il conflitto e, possibilmente, sopirlo i tempi brevi.
