In 2007, sitting across from Charlie Rose, Qatar's then-Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani made a warning that has echoed into 2026. Asked what he'd tell Washington about a possible strike on Iran's nuclear program, he predicted oil could leap from roughly $80 a barrel toward $120 or $150, dragging the global economy down with it. "What's going to happen to the world?" he asked.
Since the US and Israel launched their war on Iran in February 2026, that scenario has largely played out. Brent crude, which traded near pre-war levels earlier this month, jumped more than 3 percent after Washington struck Iran again in early July and revoked a sanctions waiver on Iranian oil, pushing prices to around $76-78 a barrel — the highest since late June.
Tehran responded with strikes on tankers and threats to choke off the Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly a fifth of the world's oil and gas trade passes.
While prices haven't hit the $150 ceiling the Emir floated, analysts warn of prolonged volatility as fighting continues — a slower-motion version of the shock he foresaw nearly two decades ago.

When you learn and understand the politics of India, you will never support BJP/RSS/VHP.
Same, when you understand the politics of West Asia, you will never support Al-Qaeda & branches, Iran regime & branches, Zionists & branches.
They all play the HATE game

सालों साल एक झूठ परोसा गया
‘अजमल कसाब को मटन बिरयानी दी गई’
अब उज्जवल निकम सच बता रहे हैं
उन्होंने यह झूठ बोला और नैरेटिव सेट किया था
उनके एक झूठ ने UPA सरकार को बदनाम करने में कोई कसर नहीं छोड़ी
इसके बाद वह BJP के टिकट पर चुनाव लड़े और अब BJP के राज्य सभा MP हैं
They will always betray you. They betrayed in kufa they will betray you again and again.
They have been cursed for that nature and they shall remain cursed, hence the randi ronas
Oman summened Iran's Ambassador on Sunday to hand him over a letter of protest following the Iranian strikes that targeted several sites in the Gulf country, the state's news agency reported on Sunday.
"The Sultanate of Oman summons the Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to hand him a formal note of protest following the targeting of sites in the Governorates of Musandam and Al Wusta by unmanned aerial vehicles," said a statement carried by the Oman News Agency.
"Oman expresses its profound dismay at these irresponsible acts, and underscores the imperative of adhering to the provisions of state sovereignty, good neighbourliness, non-interference in internal affairs and respect for the established norms and moral principles that bind the relations between the two neighbouring countries and their peoples," reads the statement.
अब जबकि मेरे द्वारा निभाए जा रहे किरदार की कुछ तस्वीरें मीडिया में आ चुकी हैं, तो मुझे लगा कि आप सबको मैं ख़ुद ही बता दूँ कि मैं किस भूमिका में नज़र आने वाला हूँ।🙏🕉
फ़िल्म ‘ श्री रामभूमि’ में मैं श्री अशोक सिंघल जी की भूमिका निभा रहा हूँ!! एक ऐसे व्यक्तित्व, जिन्होंने श्रीराम जन्मभूमि आंदोलन को अपनी पूरी निष्ठा, दृढ़ संकल्प और समर्पण से दिशा दी। वे केवल एक नेता नहीं, बल्कि प्रभु श्रीराम के अनन्य सेवक थे। उनकी आस्था, उनकी संवेदनशीलता और उनके अटूट विश्वास ने इस आंदोलन को एक नई ऊर्जा दी।
इतिहास के ऐसे व्यक्तित्व को पर्दे पर ईमानदारी और संवेदनशीलता के साथ जीवंत करना मेरे लिए एक बहुत बड़ी ज़िम्मेदारी है। मैं पूरी निष्ठा से अपना सर्वश्रेष्ठ देने की कोशिश करूँगा।
आप सबके आशीर्वाद और शुभकामनाओं की आवश्यकता रहेगी। जय श्री राम! 🙏❤️ #JaiShriRam #ShriRambhoomi @zeestudiosofficial

Denis is lucky Disney doesn't have a similar genre movie otherwise the fake reviews would bury the Dune in its own sand of Arrakis
Timothée Chalamet praises Denis Villeneuve at the #DunePartThree global Imax fan event.
"He could've taken years in between these projects. Instead, he buckled in and we got it done right away. I am huge fan of 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy and I can't imagine the last time someone knocked out three things so consecutively. I am so grateful for Denis. In Denis we trust."
President Donald Trump says he has informed NATO leaders that the US is rapidly expanding its defence manufacturing capacity to meet rising security demands

More than 600,000 people have signed a petition urging FIFA to end its lucrative partnership with Coca-Cola by 2030, a sponsorship that reportedly accounts for 2 percent of FIFA’s annual budget.
The campaign was launched by the Kick Big Soda Out of Sport platform and has received support from more than 100 health and climate organisations, including Greenpeace, Healthy Food America, the Center for Science in the Public Interest, and the World Obesity Federation.
“For decades, Coca-Cola has used the FIFA World Cup to push sweetened beverages to millions of fans — turning the world’s biggest game into one giant soda,” the campaign said. “Forty years ago, FIFA kicked tobacco out of sport. Big Soda should be next.”
In 2024, the platform launched a similar petition targeting the Paris Olympics, which received 255,000 signatures.
FIFA has not publicly responded to the petition so far.
#EvilRegime and Zionists have the same pattern.
Provoke and then play the victim card.
Their history has always been about playing the victim card and justify their wrong doing
#Statement | The Foreign Ministry expresses the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s condemnation in the strongest terms of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s targeting the Saudi tanker “Wedyan” as it transited the Strait of Hormuz and targeting the Qatari tanker “Al-Rekayyat.” The Kingdom affirms that these reprehensible attacks constitute an assault on the security and safety of international navigation and on the security of global energy supplies.
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Hurry up with the dead body for if it was righteous, you are forwarding it to welfare; and if it was otherwise, then you are putting off an evil thing down your necks."
Sahih al-Bukhari 23:73
