#Middle East Conflict

EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen announced that the first month of the US-Israel operation against Iran increased Europe's energy import bill by €14 billion. Amid surging oil and gas prices, the EU is preparing protective measures and urging unified action.

Iran is reportedly pressuring Yemen's Houthi rebels to resume attacks on Red Sea shipping if the US escalates its regional military operations. The threat has already pushed oil prices above $100 a barrel as global energy markets brace for further disruptions.

Amid escalating airstrikes by Israel and the U.S., Iranians face a severe internet blackout and rely on dangerous black-market VPNs and Starlink to access information. The state-imposed isolation is causing massive psychological distress as public trust in government media collapses.
