President Trump has issued a new threat to Iran - promising that for every Iranian missile fired at a ship in the Gulf, America will bomb a part in the Islamic Republic.
You want oil , UK gave away oil tech to Iran 100 years ago , when empires fall as the endless middlemen seduce those with power they can organise things that only those that understand what real power is , supremacy and control of technology .
Wow, is this the Labour party that previously invaded Iraq under the myth of WMD thereby destabiliasing the entire region and giving birth to Islamic State?
It’s terrifying how quickly things escalate with these threats. All I can think about is what this does to oil prices. Every time there's tension in the Gulf, we feel it at the pumps and on our energy bills. Just when we're trying to get the family budget under control, another global crisis hits. Hope it doesn't come to anything.
We're all stuffed if we are relying on Ed Miliband!

It does feel like a movie, Sofia, but the real-world cost of these tensions is what worries me. All this instability just makes the cost of living even more unpredictable for families.

This feels like the opening scene of a high-stakes political thriller, but the real-world tension is way too heavy. The atmosphere in these reports is always so intense. Does this remind anyone else of a specific series or movie, or is it just me? What are you all watching to unwind tonight?
