March 06, 2026   |   Listen Online   |   Read Online Iran Closes the Straits of Hormuz Blocking Shipping and Increasing Oil Prices Iran closes Staits of Hormuz to commercial shipping, triggering a global spike in oil and gas prices.   Jason Belcher What Happened? As part of the ongoing war with Israel and the United States, Iran has announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and has threatened to open fire on any commercial ships that try to pass through the strait. At least two such ships have already been attacked by the Iranian military, though neither was sunk. 'If anyone tries to ​pass, the heroes of the Revolutionary Guards and the regular navy will set ​those ships ablaze,' said Ebrahim Jabari, a senior adviser to the Guards commander-in-chief, according to Iranian state television. According to Time, as of Wednesday, Brent crude oil prices had risen by around 7%, reaching as high as $83 per barrel. When markets closed on Friday, the day before the Iran war started, the barrel cost was just over $73. Why it Matters The closing of the Straits of Hormuz has had an immediate effect on the global supply of oil and gas, causing a price spike in both. The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow naval chokepoint, measuring only 31 miles at its widest part. Iran is on its north bank opposite Oman and the United Arab Emirates. A substantial amount of oil exports from Kuwait, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE pass through the straits every day, as well as Iran's own exports. Around 20% of global liquid natural gas exports also flow through the passage, mostly originating from Qatar. In response to Iran's closing of the Straits of Hormuz, the Trump Administration has said it may begin providing commercial ships with naval escorts, but as of Thursday, that had not begun. American and Israeli military forces have destroyed several Iranian naval vessels, but the threat to commercial shipping has not been eliminated. Iran often uses small, fast-moving boats to attack commercial ships, and that is a capability Iran still has. For commercial ships, even a U.S. naval escort cannot guarantee safe passage, so most of those ships have now stopped delivering their cargo. Iran has threatened closure of the straits many times in the past, but this is the first time they have actually made good on their promise. Reopening the straits will be difficult without Iran's cooperation, because the high volume of commercial traffic and such a narrow passageway makes targeting ships easy for Iranian forces.  The longer the straits remain closed to commercial traffic, the more severe the impact will be on global oil and gas supplies, and in turn on their prices. Without ending the war, it will be difficult to keep commercial ships safe in the Straits of Hormuz as long as Iran is willing to attack them. How it Affects You The closure of the Straits of Hormuz has created global economic consequences for the wider regional war now engulfing the Middle East. Rising oil prices may result in higher costs for consumers, but they may also generate more international political pressure to bring the war to a faster end.

Declaração Conjunta do Grupo Internacional de Contacto para os Grandes Lagos (GIC) sobre a Situação no Leste da República Democrática do Congo (RDC)

Tradução cortesia do Departamento de Estado dos Estados Unidos Declaração Conjunta do Grupo Internacional de Contacto para os Grandes Lagos (GIC) sobre a Situação no Leste da República Democrática do Congo (RDC) Departamento de Estado dos Estados Unidos Gabinete do Porta-Voz Nota de Imprensa 5 de Março de 2026  Os Governos dos Estados Unidos da América, Bélgica, Dinamarca, França, Alemanha, Países Baixos, Suécia, Suíça, Reino Unido e União Europeia, presidida pela Suécia, emitem a seguinte declaração sobre a situação no leste da RDC: Início do texto O GIC (Grupo Internacional de Contacto) manifesta a sua profunda preocupação relactivamente às contínuas e recentes violações no leste da RDC dos cessar-fogos mantidos pela assinatura dos Acordos de Washington a 4 de Dezembro de 2025 e pelo compromisso assumido em Doha a 19 de Julho de 2025 de um cessar-fogo permanente e de uma cessação permanente das hostilidades. Tais violações incluem a utilização de drones em ataques militares, que também representam um risco agudo para as populações civis. Todas as partes envolvidas devem comprometer-se urgente e inequivocamente a cessar as hostilidades e a regressar às negociações. Não pode haver solução militar para o conflito. Instamos todas as partes a implementarem integralmente as suas obrigações e compromissos assumidos no âmbito dos Acordos de Washington e do processo de Doha, bem como a cumprirem as resoluções relevantes do Conselho de Segurança da ONU, incluindo as resoluções 2773 e 2808, e a respeitarem plenamente a integridade territorial. A CIRGL (Conferência Internacional sobre a Região dos Grandes Lagos) elogia a mediação em curso conduzida pelo mediador nomeado pela UA, Faure Gnassingbé, Presidente do Conselho da República do Togo, e pelo Painel de Facilitadores, bem como a crucial mediação levada a cabo pelos Estados Unidos e pelo Qatar. Saudamos os esforços do Qatar, da CIRGL e da MONUSCO para estabelecer um mecanismo de monitorização e verificação do cessar-fogo. Recordamos a importância de criar condições para um diálogo intercongolês inclusivo com todas as principais partes interessadas congolesas – um elemento necessário para uma paz duradoura na RDC – e saudamos as consultas realizadas pela República de Angola. Estamos prontos para apoiar estes esforços. O GIC apela a todas as partes para que honrem as suas obrigações de respeitar o direito internacional humanitário e para garantir o acesso humanitário pleno, seguro e sem entraves, de forma a permitir a prestação de assistência crucial a quem necessita. Saudamos com satisfação os passos positivos assumidos, tais como os compromissos assumidos pelos governos e pelos intervenientes da região para melhorar e facilitar o acesso humanitário, incluindo na sequência da visita do Comissário da UE, Lahbib; a reabertura da fronteira entre a RDC e o Burundi; e a utilização do aeroporto de Goma durante a recente visita a Goma do Chefe Interino da MONUSCO e Representante Especial do Secretário-Geral, van de Perre, o que deverá conduzir à reabertura permanente do Aeroporto de Goma aos voos humanitários. O GIC apela ainda às partes para que cessem o incitamento ao ódio, à discriminação ou à violência, incluindo contra as minorias ruandesas, e outras acções que ponham em grave perigo as populações civis e a coesão social.

Unsubscribe A message from Paradigm Press    Below is an important message from one of our highly valued sponsors. Please read it carefully as they have some special information to share with you. WHITE HOUSE INSIDER BUCK SEXTON: "TRUMP'S NEXT MOVE WILL SHOCK THE WORLD" Dear Reader, I just returned from a private interview at the Biltmore hotel… Where I shared a chilling prediction regarding a major plan currently developing inside the Trump administration. See, I have had direct access to top-level defense and national security officials… Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, Marco Rubio and others… Which is why I was recently invited to a sit-down meeting with President Trump and Vice President Vance inside the West Wing of the White House. And what I learned gave me the chills… That's why, today, I've decided to give a rare interview breaking down something I believe every American needs to hear – especially investors. It's not about tariffs, crypto, or the Fed. Or anything else you're hearing about ad nauseam from the mainstream press right now. It's about a radical move I believe Trump is going to make as soon as October 15 – one that could shock the world. Because I believe it could single-handedly reshape the global order… dramatically increase U.S. power…  and trigger a massive American market boom the likes of which we haven't seen in 75 years. President Trump himself said this is all about one thing… Igniting what he calls "the most extraordinary boom the world has ever seen." This is a rare opportunity, folks. And I'm bringing it to you on a silver platter… long before anyone else gets wind of it. Take it while you can.  Because once this story and opportunity  hits the mainstream, it could be too late to act. You deserve this… Get the details here now.

Unsubscribe A message from Golden Portfolio Dear reader, It just happened.  One small gold stock just poured its first gold.  I believe that once this news hits the markets, it will send this $2 gold stock soaring.  That's because right now, the company is pre-revenue.  So, it's invisible to the algos and AI programs that make up the bulk of daily trading.  But as soon as it starts generating gold - and cash - it will be like flicking a light switch. The world's most powerful trading computers will bid up prices to match fair value. And it all happens in the coming weeks.  Which means: You need to own this company now - before the company's production is made public.  Click here to get the full briefing before it's too late.
