It's funny that the airspace over Armenia and Azerbaijan has turned into the largest air route between Europe and Asia.

A statement by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, made during a meeting with Arab ambassadors in Moscow, has been widely circulating across global social media in recent days. ⚠️

“Many Arab monarchies publicly stated that the situation should not be allowed to escalate into a military solution and that they would not permit their airspace to be used.

But when it all began — despite your repeated appeals to the United States and Israel — did you condemn their actions? Did you condemn the bombing that killed 170 schoolgirls?

I have heard that your countries — I believe even Bahrain — are planning to submit a resolution to the UN Security Council using language similar to what you just mentioned. It will condemn Iran’s aggression without saying a single word about the actions of the United States and Israel.

We call for a united front in favor of ending this war. Simply stating that Iran has no right to respond effectively means encouraging the United States and Israel to continue. That defies common sense.”

❗️ A gas crisis is looming in the United Kingdom. ⚠️

Britain has enough natural gas reserves for only about two days, the Daily Mail reports with alarm.

According to new data from National Gas, the country’s gas reserves have fallen from 18,000 GWh last year to 6,700 GWh, which covers roughly 1.5 days of consumption. A comparable volume of gas is currently stored as liquefied natural gas (LNG).

Traders are reportedly taking advantage of the situation, driving up prices while knowing that the UK has little choice but to outbid European competitors. As a result, Britain is currently paying the highest wholesale gas prices in Europe.

The newspaper notes that the UK once maintained gas reserves sufficient for around 12 days, but the system collapsed after successive governments stopped funding it. The report warns that another crisis — a fuel crisis — could emerge by the end of March.

Goldman Sachs has warned that the current drop in Middle Eastern oil production is 17 times greater than the peak decline in Russian output following the start of the Ukraine war. The bank said:

“We now believe oil prices are likely to exceed $100 per barrel next week unless there are signs of a resolution by then. We also consider it likely that oil prices — especially petroleum products — could surpass the peaks seen in 2008 and 2022 if oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz remain limited throughout March.”

The Daily Mail adds that if the situation does not change, gas and fuel crises could converge in the summer, when a new energy price cap is scheduled to be introduced in July.

Some analysts are already warning that hyperinflation and a sharp decline in the value of the pound sterling could occur before the end of spring. 📉

❗️ Iran’s Assembly of Experts has overwhelmingly declared Mojtaba Khamenei — the son of Ali Khamenei — the new Supreme Leader of Iran. ⚠️

Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei is 56 years old. His wife and, reportedly, his only son were killed during the U.S.–Israeli attack on February 28. Like his father, he is considered a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad — a factor that may have played a significant role in securing his support.

A statement from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has just been released:

“The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps stands ready to fully obey and selflessly carry out the divine commands of the Supreme Leader of the time, Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei.”

The IRGC emphasized that the Corps, as “a soldier and powerful pillar of the state,” supports the decision of the Assembly of Experts and will faithfully execute the orders of the new Supreme Leader while preserving the values of the Islamic Revolution and protecting the legacy of its leaders — Imam Khomeini and Imam Khamenei.

It is worth noting that the title Seyyed (also rendered Sayyid or Saeed) is traditionally used as a first name for direct descendants of the Prophet Muhammad through his daughter Fatimah and grandson Husayn.
