Oil prices surged over $3 a barrel as Middle East tensions spiked, fueled by U.S. and Saudi strikes in Iraq, intercepted Iranian missiles, and shrinking U.S. crude inventories. Brent crude hit $87.39, WTI rose to $82.31 — driven by U.S. claims of intercepting a surprise Iranian missile attack and Saudi reports of drone strikes on oil infrastructure. Joint U.S.-Saudi operations targeted Iranian-backed groups, raising fears of prolonged regional instability. OPEC+ may also pause output hikes in October, adding further upward pressure as inventory data looms.

Wildfires are exploding across southern Europe as temperatures soar near 50°C, turning dry vegetation into fuel and straining emergency resources. While El Niño’s intensifying heat may be adding fuel to the fire, scientists say the real driver is climate change — creating record heat, drought, and erratic winds that turn forests into tinderboxes. A wet winter followed by a brutal summer created the perfect storm: lush growth that dried out, then ignited. El Niño may be pushing the accelerator, but climate change built the highway.

Zelensky and Trump strike a historic deal: U.S. licenses for Ukraine to build Patriot missiles, a game-changer for defense independence. Amid Russia’s deadly drone strikes, the meeting signals a thaw in their fraught relationship — Trump even floated risky strikes inside Russia to end the war. While U.S. arms shifted toward Europe, critical support like Starlink remains vital. Zelensky honored Senator Graham at his memorial and backed a bipartisan sanctions bill Graham pushed — a symbolic step toward peace. Meanwhile, Russia’s war machine grinds on, but Zelensky warns Putin’s forces are bleeding heavily, shifting battlefield momentum.
