Six of #Europe’s largest #oil companies posted combined first-quarter profits of $22 billion, more than 40% higher than last year. “There are constituencies around the world who are having a very good crisis, & the oil producers are one of them,” said Patrick Galey, #FossilFuels lead at Global Witness, a nonprofit organization that investigates environmental issues. #BigOil #WarProfiteering #ClimateChange #TrumpsWar #IranWar #US #Iran #Trump #economy #inflation #CostOfLiving #EnergyCrisis

The money that #oil companies accrued between the beginning of April & the end of June could receive extra scrutiny this year. #Gasoline, #diesel & #JetFuel prices climbed sharply during that period, increasing costs for drivers & airline passengers. Supplies ran low in some countries, leading to sporadic #fuel #rationing in Australia & government office closures in Nepal & Sri Lanka. #BigOil #WarProfiteering #ClimateChange #TrumpsWar #IranWar #US #Iran #Trump #economy #affordability #energy

#ExxonMobil on Friday reported that its second quarter profits doubled to $14.53 billion, boosted by record #diesel production. The #oil giant, based in Spring, Texas, brought in $116.02 billion in revenue, up 42%. #Chevron, based in Houston, nearly quadrupled its profits to $12.07 billion & revenue jumped 56% to $70.06 billion. #BigOil #WarProfiteering #FossilFuels #ClimateChange #TrumpsWar #IranWar #US #Iran #Trump #economy #inflation #affordability #CostOfLiving #oil #energy #EnergyCrisis

The 4 American troops killed during renewed fighting between the #US & #Iran in recent weeks are no longer listed as part of the #IranWar death toll in the #Pentagon’s official casualty count. They have been placed in a new, separate category Sunday. It raises questions about properly counting the impact to US service members as the #Trump admin has escalated strikes on Iran. #TrumpsWar #ForeverWars #law #Congress #WarPowers #geopolitics #NationalSecurity #MiddleEast https://apnews.com/article/iran-war-casualty-count-pentagon-us-troops-4c578fc74746052627b1c87845fdc0d5

Though the votes forced by #Democrats are largely symbolic, they are meant as a strong signal to #Trump that his support on Capitol Hill is chipping away as the war drags on & lawmakers in both parties have questioned his admin’s endgame. #TrumpsWar #IranWar #ForeverWars #law #Congress #WarPowers #NationalSecurity #MiddleEast #economy #inflation #affordability #CostOfLiving #oil #energy #EnergyCrisis

#Oil prices leap to over $100 a barrel after #US & #Iran & #Houthi attacks. A jump of about 40% just this month. The price of oil hit $100 a barrel on Thursday for the first time since May, after Iran’s Houthi allies in #Yemen claimed to have struck two #SaudiArabia tankers in the #RedSea, & the #UnitedStates & Iran launched more attacks overnight. #TrumpsWar #IranWar #ForeverWars #Trump #law #Congress #WarPowers #NationalSecurity #MiddleEast #economy #EnergyCrisis https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/07/23/world/iran-war-strikes-oil-trump/heres-the-latest?smid=url-share&smid=nytcore-ios-share&rsrc=cl-share

The #Houthis, an #Iran backed group in #Yemen, claimed Wednesday that they had targeted 2 Saudi #oil tankers with missiles and drones. If the Houthis manage to block #SaudiArabia from using the #RedSea, they would be cutting off about 4% of the world’s oil supply & leaving Saudi Arabia, one of the world’s biggest producers, with very little access to global markets. #US #Iran #TrumpsWar #IranWar #ForeverWars #Trump #law #Congress #WarPowers #NationalSecurity #MiddleEast #economy #EnergyCrisis

“The conflict has entered a decidedly more dangerous phase,” analysts from RBC Capital Markets wrote on Wednesday. Even though #oil prices have risen a lot in recent weeks, “we still see them as a lagging indicator of the extreme pressure building in the region,” they added, forecasting that a “full regional #war” could send prices toward $150 a barrel. #US #Iran #TrumpsWar #IranWar #ForeverWars #Trump #law #Congress #WarPowers #NationalSecurity #MiddleEast #economy #EnergyCrisis

The #US #military Tuesday identified a soldier who was killed while disarming an #Iran drone in #Iraq as a 30-year-old from North Carolina. The military said it was investigating the death of Sgt. Michael Emmanuel Swinton of Fayetteville during a controlled detonation Sunday at an air base in Irbil in northern Iraq. #TrumpsWar #IranWar #Trump #law #Congress #WarPowers #service https://apnews.com/article/iran-war-us-soldier-deaths-jordan-attack-5ec21d4f12fbdee658ec15ed8d3750ee

Swinton will get a Bronze Star, Purple Heart & Combat Action Badge, & be promoted to staff sergeant, the #military said in a statement. Swinton’s wife, Mia Gonzalez-Swinton, posted on social media that she was informed of his death Sunday. The couple have a young daughter. “I will never recover from this, you should be home. We had so many plans for when you got back, I’m sick to my stomach,” she posted Monday. #TrumpsWar #IranWar #Iran #US #Trump #law #Congress #WarPowers #service

Despite Simmons’ comments, #Trump went on to make much the same claim as #Hegseth during an April 1 primetime address from the Oval Office. Trump said that “every single one of the people, their loved ones, said, ‘Please, sir, please, finish the job.’ Every one of them.” And Trump’s conduct surrounding these dignified transfers has also raised plenty of eyebrows. #kakistocracy #TrumpsWar #IranWar #US #Iran #ForeverWars #law #Congress #WarPowers #geopolitics #NationalSecurity #military #service

At the one earlier in March, #Trump wore a baseball cap that is for sale on his business’ website. And just days later, his PAC used a photo of that dignified transfer in a fundraising email. It featured Trump saluting with a flag-draped transfer case, which holds the remains of a soldier, in the foreground. #kakistocracy #TrumpsWar #IranWar #US #Iran #ForeverWars #law #Congress #WarPowers #geopolitics #NationalSecurity #military #service

…The uniting characteristic of all of these responses is politics [& a lack of humanity]. In the moments after these deaths, #Trump & #Hegseth seem to sense the possibility that they could be used against the #war effort & Trump personally, & sought to immediately try to head that off. And later, they both seemed to try to flip the deaths to their advantage in using the supposed support of the fallen &/or their families to make the case for the war. #TrumpsWar #IranWar #military #service

(CNN also reported Monday that the admin has been slow to disclose injuries to troops, which the admin says is because of security needs.) After the NBC report about the father whose account differed from Hegseth’s, a Pentagon spox claimed “the details of each individual conversation remain private.” But it was the #Trump admin that decided to talk about the supposed general tenor of those conversation — in a pretty shocking way. #TrumpsWar #IranWar #US #Iran #military #service

Now #Trump is doing something similar by claiming the troops most recently killed “don’t want to see Iran have a nuclear weapon.” And everything that’s happened in these episodes makes very clear why∶ Because when troops die, Trump can’t help but think about it in terms of raw politics. #kakistocracy #TrumpsWar #IranWar #US #Iran #ForeverWars #law #Congress #WarPowers #geopolitics #NationalSecurity #military #service
