Natural gas prices surge as violence in the Middle East flares again.
Traders fear that they’re going to need to permanently price in instability in the Strait of Hormuz as shortages loom and Asian demand heats up.
The benchmark European natural gas price — known as the Dutch TTF — briefly crossed €60 per megawatt-hour on Monday, the highest level since mid-March.

Iran’s IRGC Issues Urgent Evacuation Warning to Residents in Dubai and Across the UAE after US attack
In a dramatic escalation of the ongoing regional conflict, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued a stark order urging citizens and residents in Dubai and throughout the United Arab Emirates to evacuate immediately from designated high-risk areas. The warning, broadcast through Iranian state media and circulated widely on social platforms, cites the alleged use of UAE territory by U.S. forces as launchpads for strikes against Iranian targets.
The directive specifically highlights locations such as Dubai Marina, Arabian Ranches, and major ports including Jebel Ali, Khalifa, and Fujairah. Residents near these zones are advised to move away promptly to avoid potential retaliatory actions. According to IRGC statements, these sites are viewed as “legitimate targets” due to the purported presence of American military personnel and infrastructure supporting operations against Iran, including recent strikes on Kharg Island, a critical Iranian oil export hub.
This development comes amid heightened hostilities following U.S. military actions against Iranian facilities. Reports indicate explosions and interceptions of missiles and drones over UAE airspace, with the UAE Ministry of Defense confirming its air defense systems engaged incoming threats. The IRGC has framed the warnings as a necessary measure to protect civilians, accusing Gulf states of allowing foreign powers to use residential and civilian areas for military purposes. Similar alerts have extended to parts of Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar, including areas like Lusail and Al Waab.
The UAE government has not issued a blanket evacuation order for the entire country but has activated emergency protocols. Authorities in Dubai and Abu Dhabi are coordinating with international partners to ensure the safety of expatriates, who make up a significant portion of the population. Many Western embassies, including the U.S. State Department, have echoed concerns, advising their citizens to exercise extreme caution and consider departing high-risk zones.
### Background and Regional Implications
The current crisis traces back to intensified exchanges between Iran and the U.S.-Israel axis. Iranian officials claim U.S. strikes on oil facilities and other sites constitute an existential threat, prompting vows of disproportionate response. The IRGC has published maps marking potential targets, heightening fears of broader conflict spilling into Gulf civilian life.
Economically, the warnings threaten to disrupt one of the world’s busiest aviation and maritime hubs. Dubai International Airport and the Jebel Ali port handle massive global trade volumes. Airlines have reported flight delays and cancellations, while businesses in affected areas are temporarily shuttering operations. Tourism, a cornerstone of the UAE economy, faces immediate setbacks as travelers scramble for alternative plans.
For the millions of foreign workers and residents in the UAE — including large Indian, Pakistani, and Western communities — the situation is particularly precarious. Many are weighing evacuation options, though commercial flights remain operational outside immediate threat zones. Humanitarian organizations are monitoring the situation closely.
### International Response and Outlook
The United Nations and Gulf Cooperation Council members have called for de-escalation. U.S. officials have reiterated support for allies while warning Iran against further aggression. Analysts suggest the IRGC’s move serves both tactical and psychological purposes: deterring further strikes while sowing uncertainty in Gulf states hosting U.S. bases.
As of July 13, 2026, the situation remains fluid. Residents in Dubai report mixed reactions — some heeding warnings and heading inland or to safer emirates, others staying put pending official UAE guidance. Security forces have increased patrols, and emergency hotlines are overwhelmed with inquiries.
This episode underscores the fragile security architecture of the Gulf. What began as targeted military exchanges now risks drawing civilians into the fray. For now, the IRGC’s evacuation order stands as a clear signal of Iran’s willingness to project power beyond its borders, leaving Dubai and the UAE on high alert. International observers urge all parties to prioritize civilian safety and pursue diplomatic off-ramps before the conflict widens further. -

@pumpr Aha! Thanks.
Two different counts though, and both tailed with a plus7600+ and 7947+
The number fuel selling activists seem to use is 8200
But my impression was that even allowing for some of them still not managing to comply with recent legislation, it seems that the count has gone down over the last couple of years.
Some day, every town will have a fuel forecourt. And some day after that, _not_ every town will have one.

As oil prices return to pre-war levels, on the forecourt we're likely to see the usual up-like-a-ricket-down-like-a-feather price dynamic in operation on petrol prices....
as posted a while back the 'super-profits 'are not made so much on the upward arc, but on the shallower/longer downward one.... just so you know!

There are, today, 7987 fuel forecourts in the UK.
https://www.developer.fuel-finder.service.gov.uk/access-latest-fuelprices#It has been claimed to be 8200 quite often.
Now, it might be that the difference is stations ignoring the law, but I think the number of places to fill an #ICEV is going down.

When #reform or #ukconservatives say they want to open the North sea for drilling do they just want to give the oil to #shell and #bp ??
Or with they establish a national oil company?
All good promising the price of Shell of BP oil might fall when more operations are established.... but is that really good enough?!?
"Oo look more supply so we better reduce prices per litre immediately for the British citizens" .... is that realistic?

10-33 : A #Pontiac #Firebird (as seen in Smokey and the Bandit) caught alight at a #petrol station in #Oxfordshire #England
Two middle aged men (one Englishman, who had some #fire #safety training) and an American) and a motorcyclist put out the #fire with extinguishers before the Fire Brigade arrived.
Driver (a young man) had some burn injuries and was given first aid - hopefully he recovers well and the car can be repaired..

Hmm, my 20 liter petrol can is full to the bottom of the cap threads when the Neste pump reads 18.22 liter.
Someone isn't measuring right, either Valpro or Neste? Or the petrol is feeling very voluminous on this sunny day. :think_bread:

#LLM / #AI hype just seems like a repeat of this, but at much higher speed ( #lead wasn't put into #petrol just out of spite but to allow use of cheaper hydrocarbon mixtures, boost profits of a proprietary substance and allow manufacturers to delay improvements to engine design that allowed efficient and reliable running without putting even more poison into the air..
The stuff even destroyed the inventors health, and he died due to a failure of one of his own flawed inventions!

More #maintenance of #Vauxhall / #Opel #CorsaC
Replaced rear fog light bulb (bumper part dismantled, water tipped out, lampholder cleaned up then reassembled), fitted new horn.
New fuel filter, first time I've done this myself (not fun, had to crawl underneath in awkward position and avoid petrol being spilled out from old filter, self tapping holding screw goosed (fully rounded off), replaced with new one with bolt head
Fitted air filter, intake hoses have to be removed ( #bladibarsket ) so also cleaned up #throttlebody.
Went to ASDA (in my GTI, Corsa still doesn't have tax or insurance), filled up 5 litre #petrol can, topped up tank with new fuel
Still got coolant, sparkplugs and oil to change, but #car now running a lot better (no more rough idle)

CW: #IndiaPol
#CrudeOil prices had dropped below zero at one stage of the #pandemic. Did anybody enjoy a lower #fuel #price then? Or that of any price drop for that matter? Why then silently accept these fuel #price_hikes? Pain for us and benefits for the #government & #oil_companies?
No amount of #austerity_measures, #WFH and zoom calls are going to spare you this pain. Your food still needs fuel to reach you. This is unmitigated plain sight #robbery!
