Last update: 7 hours agoQatar-Iran Legal Clash: Qatar rejected Iran’s justification for attacks, saying Doha’s UN letters document violations of the UN Charter and international law, including strikes affecting civilian and energy-linked infrastructure. US-Iran Pressure & Sanctions: The US Treasury sanctioned Turkey’s Golden Global Bank and two subsidiaries, alleging they helped Iran’s IRGC-QF move oil revenues and evade sanctions, as Washington pushes “Operation Economic Outcast” by targeting banks and financial channels. Oil Market Outlook: Treasury chief Scott Bessent said crude could fall to $50–$40 after the Iran conflict ends, warning current oil tightness is tied to stranded cargoes and Hormuz disruption. Fuel Prices at the Pump: With Labor Day approaching, reports say gas and diesel are set to hit record highs in the US, with diesel especially pressured by Middle East shipping and refined-product tightness. Drilling Signals: Baker Hughes said US rig counts were unchanged for a second week, with oil rigs up slightly and gas rigs down, while analysts link demand growth to data centers and LNG exports. Regional Security & Energy Risk: Qatar also stressed that successful missile/drone interceptions don’t reduce the seriousness of attacks on Ras Laffan and the wider Strait of Hormuz risk.
