Middle East war creating ‘largest supply disruption in the
history of oil markets’
HTML https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/mar/12/middle-east-war-creating-largest-supply-disruption-in-the-history-of-oil-markets
"The International Energy Agency (IEA) said the supply shock
ignited by Iran’s effective blockade of the strait of Hormuz
meant the world faced a deeper crisis than after the Yom Kippur
war of 1973 and the 2022 outbreak of war in Ukraine."

We attacked Iran with no clear plan for regime change, Israeli
security sources say.
HTML https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/12/israel-iran-us-attack-no-plan-for-regime-change-security-sources
"Israel did not have a realistic plan for regime change when it
attacked Iran, multiple Israeli security sources have said, with
expectations that airstrikes could lead to a popular uprising
having been driven by “wishful thinking” rather than hard
intelligence."
Not that war is ever good, but starting wars without any clear
plan not the best idea.

I bet Israel is using this software in many countries and likely
even Canada.
"Israeli video analytics software has been discovered operating
within Russian video surveillance systems, The Moscow Times
reported on March 13."
"The same technology was reportedly used by intelligence
agencies to track and assassinate Iranian Supreme Leader
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei."
"The software, known as BriefCam, is designed to rapidly analyze
massive video streams, search for specific events in archives,
and identify targeted human actions and vehicles."

Still fighting for peace and trying to get the price of gas
down.
"The Pars gas field was hit in the first reported strikes on
Iranian energy infrastructure in the ​Gulf during the
U.S.-Israeli war, a major escalation that prompted Tehran to
warn its neighbours to evacuate their energy installations."
