🇪🇬 Egypt Implements Energy Rationing Amid Soaring Fuel Costs from Iran Conflict

Egypt has announced urgent measures to curb electricity and fuel consumption, including earlier closures for shops, malls, restaurants, and cafes (9 p.m. weekdays, 10 p.m. on weekends), reduced street and public lighting to minimum safe levels, and the deactivation of illuminated advertising billboards.

Government offices will close by 6 p.m. post-Eid Al-Fitr, with consideration for partial remote work in public and private sectors.

The steps, effective March 28 for one month, address a sharp rise in global energy prices driven by the ongoing Iran war.

Egypt's monthly natural gas import costs have surged from $560 million to $1.65 billion.

Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly emphasized these temporary actions aim to maintain supply stability without widespread outages, with plans for review if the crisis eases.

Iran hit Israel's Haifa refinery.

The Haifa refinery (Bazan) is Israel’s largest and most critical fuel facility, supplying about 50–60% of the country’s fuel (≈60% diesel, 50% gasoline).

It processes roughly 197,000 barrels per day, meaning a large share of Israel’s transport, aviation, and military fuel depends on it.

Israel has only two refineries.

1973 vs 2026: déjà vu?

Crypto Twitter is drawing parallels between today’s market and the 1973 oil crisis.

Back then:

● Oil +300%
● Stocks crashed
● Fed stuck → decade-long stagflation

After the initial drop, markets bounced ~70%… only to get hit again in 1979. The only consistent winner? Gold (x20 in ~7 years).

Today looks similar:

○ Tensions around Hormuz
○ Rising oil prices
○ Bonds selling off
○ Stocks under pressure
○ Fed on pause

Meanwhile, Bitcoin still trades like a risk asset, moving with equities.

But if the “digital gold” narrative finally proves itself — BTC could follow gold’s 70s-style breakout.

German authorities, in coordination with the United States and Canada, have successfully shut down two of the world's largest botnets—Aisuru and Kimwolf—along with related networks.

These IoT-based botnets, comprising millions of compromised devices such as routers, webcams, and Android TV boxes, were responsible for record-breaking distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks worldwide, including some targeting U.S. Department of War systems.

The joint operation disrupted command-and-control infrastructure and targeted operators, marking a significant blow to global cybercrime operations. The action was announced on March 20, 2026.
