— 🌍 NEW: Global oil prices surge sharply amid escalating regional tensions

Global energy markets saw a sharp rise in prices, with Brent crude climbing to around $92 per barrel and WTI crude surpassing $90, both posting gains of roughly 8–11%.

Other benchmarks, including Murban crude and the OPEC basket, also recorded significant increases, reflecting growing volatility across energy markets. Natural gas prices also moved higher.

The spike comes amid heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, a region central to global oil supply.

— 🇮🇱 / 🇦🇿 / 🇮🇷 NEW: Israeli Media Claims Azerbaijan Could Join War Against Iran

Israel’s Channel 11 reported that Azerbaijan may potentially join a conflict against Iran alongside Israel.

The report comes amid previous Israeli media claims suggesting other regional actors, including Gulf states and Kurdish forces in Iraq, could also become involved in a wider confrontation with Iran. No official confirmation from Azerbaijan has been issued.

@interbellumnews

Editorial note: Israeli media has in recent days also reported that Kurdish forces in Iraq and several Gulf states could join the conflict, claims which have not materialized. Such reports should be treated with caution until confirmed by official sources.

Our friends over at IBN beat me to the draw on this one.

While everyone is focusing on the Gulf, I'd like to remind everyone that at this time last year we were covering the Alaouite uprising in the Syrian coast and subsequent massacres carried out by Damascus's forces.

May the souls of the innocent rest in peace and those of the wretched murderers rot in hell.

In a bit of sad news with already sad news, the last 2 female Barbary Lions, the rarest Lions in the world, were put to sleep at the Belfast Zoo.

This makes only 1 remaining male of the species before Barbary Lions go completely extinct.

They had largely gone extinct in the wild by the 1920's and efforts to revitalize the population in captivity were abandoned in the last 20 years.
