The United States, an IEA member, then sold a further 180 million barrels from its Strategic Petroleum Reserve over a six-month period that year. The near-blockade means that some 15 million barrels of crude oil and 5 million barrels of other oil products are choked off from global markets every day, according to Birol. Indeed, the IEA announcement has done little to dampen oil prices. Oil prices seesawOil prices have been on a rollercoaster over the past 48 hours. The near-blockade of the waterway has caused crude prices to soar, with Brent still about 23% above the $73 level it was trading at before the conflict began.

Mark Gordon on Monday signed ban on abortions after embryotic cardiac activity can be detected, generally at about six weeks’ gestation and often before women know they’re pregnant. The signing makes Wyoming the fifth state to bar abortions at that stage of pregnancy, along with Florida, Georgia, Iowa and South Carolina. Thirteen other states bar abortion at all stages of pregnancy, with some exceptions. Abortion access in Wyoming has varied in recent years, in part because the state’s sole clinic was set on fire in 2022, delaying its opening. The state Health Department says that in 2024, the last year for which records have been compiled, there were 625 abortions in the state.

The investigation, which the administration previewed last month, will be conducted under Section 301 of the 1974 Trade Act. President Donald Trump relied on the same provision in his first term to impose sweeping tariffs on Chinese products, which largely remain in effect. Greer’s announcement came less than three weeks after the Supreme Court ruled that many of the tariffs Trump imposed last year, relying on a 1977 economic emergency powers law, were unconstitutional. At the time, the president vowed to continue his campaign to reshape global trade using other legal authorities. The Trump administration has negotiated trade deals with most of the countries it now plans to investigate, raising the prospect of new tariffs on their goods.

The sources stressed that the situation on the ground is fluid and that the dynamics inside Iran could change. But recent U.S. intelligence reports have cast doubt on the ability of the Iranian Kurdish groups to sustain a fight against Iranian security services, according to two sources familiar with those assessments. The Kurdish Regional Government, which governs the autonomous region of Iraqi Kurdistan where the Iranian Kurdish groups are based, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

An Israeli source previously told CNN that Khamenei was injured in an assassination attempt last week, and rumours of his injuries have swirled for days. Iran’s ambassador to Cyprus, Alireza Salarian, told the Guardian newspaper on Wednesday that Khamenei was injured in the same airstrike that killed his father, the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, along with five other members of the family. “I don’t think he is comfortable (in any condition) to give a speech,” Salarian told the Guardian. In 2021, photos were even published on social media showing Iranians passing out posters promoting Mojtaba Khamenei as an heir to his father. The new supreme leader, while not a high-ranking cleric, is a close associate of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IGRC) and the regime’s economic elite.
