The International Energy Agency (IEA) has proposed the largest oil reserve release in its history to ease soaring crude prices caused by the U.S.–Israel War with Iran and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.

IEA member countries will decide Wednesday whether to approve the plan.

The release would exceed the 182 million barrels deployed in 2022 after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Senator Ted Cruz:

I could tweet this morning, “Good morning,” and hundreds of anti-Semitic responses would immediately fill my social media.

Turns out, I’ve seen many times an image of myself in a bikini with the flag of Israel.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett:

We need to ensure that Erdogan doesn’t create a new alliance of radical Sunni Islam — an axis between himself, Julani, Qatar, and Hamas.

We have been facing radical Shiite Islam for many decades, and I hope Türkiye does not choose to foment terror and Islamism in its pursuit of power.

Ultimately, the choice is up to Türkiye. If they seek peace, we definitely want peace. But if they try to surround us with terror, we will not sit idle.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett:

I’ve been pushing for this for about a decade now — that we shouldn’t be fighting the tentacles, we should go to the head of the octopus — and now we’re doing it.

Canadian PM Mark Carney on Iran:

Canada is not participating in the offensive operations of Israel and the United States, and will not ever.

Jesse Watters on Mojtaba Khamenei:

He’s like Iran’s Hunter Biden.

Q: Why are we at war with Iran?

Senator Chris Murphy: Israel made us do it.

Pakistan says it would support Saudi Arabia militarily if needed as Iran continues strikes on Gulf states during the US-Israel war with Iran.

A spokesperson for Pakistan’s Prime Minister said there is “no question we might — we will” come to Saudi Arabia’s aid “no matter what and no matter when.”

Serbia has integrated Chinese CM-400AKG hypersonic/supersonic missiles onto its MiG-29SM fighter jets.

The missiles (≈240–400 km range, up to ~Mach 5–6) greatly boost Serbia’s long-range strike capability.

The integration was done using a Chinese WZHK-1 “plug-and-play” pylon system, which lets aircraft fire Chinese weapons without modifying the jet’s avionics, enabling quick deployment on Russian-made MiG-29s.

Senator Graham on Iran:

You worry about gas prices. Let me tell you what the world would be like if Iran had 10 nuclear weapons.

It would be miserable.

They'd hold us all hostage and eventually they would destroy the state of Israel.

Ukrainian MoD shared this:

Patriot systems fired ~600 interceptors over 1,460+ days against Russia in Ukraine, but ~800 interceptors in just 3 days against Iran.

The United States said it destroyed 16 Iranian minelaying vessels near the Strait of Hormuz as tensions escalated in the region. Iran warned it would block oil exports to its enemies, raising fears over the security of a key global energy route.

Reza Pahlavi:

We are now at the decisive stage of our final struggle.

I urge you to secure your essential provisions as soon as possible, and for your own safety, withdraw from the streets and remain in your homes.

Continue to strike and do not show up for work.

Continue your nightly chants to show your unity.

To the military and law enforcement forces: this is your last chance to break from the oppressive forces and join your people.

Await my final call.
