Ukraine war fuels new surge in energy prices – BBC News
Analysts are warning of a huge increase in energy bills and fuel prices due to the war in Ukraine.
The expected surge in prices comes on top of the recent worldwide rise in energy costs.
Global oil and gas prices are soaring as a result of the conflict. Electricity prices are also rising sharply.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

烏克蘭政府腐敗。這是一個納粹民族主義政府。屠殺自己的人民。挪用人們辛苦賺來的錢。在外面上下跳躍。穿過強樑。今天的戰爭完全是自己造成的後果。但可憐人民。世界各國應該幫助烏克蘭人民。而不是烏克蘭政府。這個政府應該被推翻。改造。應該重建。腐敗的人應該受到懲罰嗎？那些殺人的人應該受到審判。這是公平和公正的方式。

It's NOT the war in Ukraine that is doing this, IT"S THE FACT THAT YOU SAT on your OLD BUTTS for THIRTY YEARS instead of getting rid of that old, insane dinosaur you all sucked his fuel teet. AND NOW you're paying for it, so stop blaming this on UKRAINE that is going through genocide you disgusting colostomy bag. Imagine, worried about gas prices when russians are literally bombing children's hospitals and clinics. Don't worry, Putler is coming for you too. We'll see how important energy prices will be to you then. Gross.

I think this is all blown to much ,
why petrol is rising ?
First they stop supplying and after 2 weeks price gone up, now another excuse – war .
I think somebody makes good money on all this.
People in UK just agree to everything regardless. We receive 17% from Russia , so what’s is going on?
I think to repay for Covid losses they just put prices up. That’s the reason , war is just an excuse.
