Global economy choking as US-Israel-Iran war ignites markets The Strait of Hormuz — through which 20% of the world's oil flows — is paralyzed after Iranian retaliation strikes. Hundreds of tankers stranded. Brent crude surged to $90. European spot gas prices jumped 80% in days. Industrial impact: Qatalum aluminum plant halting production. Aluminium Bahrain declares force majeure. Gulf nations produce 8% of global aluminum — prices soaring. Semiconductor supply chains threatened: helium (critical for chip manufacturing) has no substitute. Tech: Drone attacks damaged Amazon data centers in UAE and Bahrain. Foxconn chairman warns of broader impacts. Airlines: Wizz Air warns $58 million profit hit. Stocks crashing. Recession risks: Morgan Stanley warns "recession scenario." Goldman: $100 oil slows global growth by 0.4%. Barclays: earnings expectations will be revised down. Real cost: US gas $2.98→$3.32 in one week. German economy faces €40 billion loss over two years if oil hits $100. French industries cutting production. We condemn the Trump administration for launching war without calculating consequences. We condemn the Netanyahu government for regional escalation. We condemn the military-industrial complex profiting while ordinary people pay double for fuel. We condemn a financial system that lets politicians play soldiers while economies burn. Washington lit the fire. Now the whole world burns. https://newsgroup.site/%d0%b2%d1%96%d0%b9%d0%bd%d0%b0-%d1%81%d1%88%d0%b0-%d1%82%d0%b0-%d1%96%d0%b7%d1%80%d0%b0%d1%97%d0%bb%d1%8e-%d0%b7-%d1%96%d1%80%d0%b0%d0%bd%d0%be%d0%bc-%d0%bf%d1%96%d0%b4%d0%bf%d0%b0%d0%bb%d0%b8%d0%bb/ #Economy #OilPrices #Inflation #Recession #StraitOfHormuz #WarEconomy

US-IRAN WAR: THE ESSENTIAL SUMMARY - MARCH 5-6 The United States and Israel have launched a full-scale war against Iran. Claims of "precision strikes" have proven false as residential neighborhoods, hospitals, and schools are destroyed. Tehran: Khatam and Gandhi hospitals critically damaged. Vali-Asr burn center destroyed. Azadi Stadium's arena leveled. Over 520 commercial centers and thousands of residential buildings hit. A girls' school attack killed dozens of children — the Pentagon calls it an "incident under investigation." Iran's response (Operation True Promise IV): Strikes on US bases in UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar. Hezbollah drones hit RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus. A US warship was sunk off Sri Lanka with 87 sailors dead. The Strait of Hormuz is effectively closed, blocking one-fifth of global oil traffic. Beirut: Israeli forces have systematically leveled southern Beirut. Lebanese Health Ministry reports over 217 killed and nearly 800 wounded in recent days. Hundreds of thousands face forced displacement. Casualty reality: Independent monitors estimate over 1,000 Iranian civilians dead. Thousands of military on both sides. The world pays the price as international law collapses. https://newsgroup.site/%d0%b2%d1%96%d0%b9%d0%bd%d0%b0-%d1%81%d1%88%d0%b0-%d1%96%d1%80%d0%b0%d0%bd-%d0%bf%d1%80%d0%be-%d0%b3%d0%be%d0%bb%d0%be%d0%b2%d0%bd%d0%b5-5-6-%d0%b1%d0%b5%d1%80%d0%b5%d0%b7%d0%bd%d1%8f/ #Iran #War #US #Tehran #Beirut #WarCrimes #Casualties #StraitOfHormuz

These are the three ships near the agreed-upon shipping lanes. _Historically_, Iran covers the inbound lane, not the outbound lane, and we have two ships last reported under power heading inbound, with one under power heading out. #news #StraitofHormuz #iran #unitedstates #us #war #shipping
