TEHRAN — Iran has signaled that it is preparing fo TEHRAN — Iran has signaled that it is preparing for another round of war with the United States and issued public threats against Washington and its allies in an apparent bid to deter President Donald Trump from restarting hostilities that began in February.​ Over the past month, Iranian military commanders have intensified claims that the country has built large stockpiles of new weapons ready to strike targets beyond the region. Officials have threatened broader retaliation, including cutting undersea internet cables, hitting AI data centers, and attacking regional oil and gas facilities.​ “The world will be amazed,” Revolutionary Guards spokesperson Hossein Mohebbi said. “We have new targets that have not yet been attacked… The war is not over.

HOUSTON, Oct. 16 — Brent crude touched $110 a barr HOUSTON, Oct. 16 — Brent crude touched $110 a barrel for the first time since May on Friday, as escalating Middle East tensions and fresh worries over Russian diesel supplies drove prices higher. Brent futures settled $3.94, or 3.7%, higher at $109.86, the highest close since May 19. U.S. West Texas Intermediate rose $3.44, or 3.5%, to $101.41, its strongest level since mid-September. For the week, Brent gained 4.9% while WTI climbed 10.4%. Supply concerns intensified after stepped-up Iranian attacks near the Strait of Hormuz and a Ukrainian drone strike that halted a key unit at Russia’s Ryazan refinery. Houthi attacks on Saudi targets added to the risk. The U.S. offered up to 17 million barrels from its Strategic Petroleum Reserve and the IEA accelerated fuel stock releases, yet the risk premium remained elevated.

LONDON, Oct 11 — British Prime Minister Andy Burnh LONDON, Oct 11 — British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said Russia interfered in the 2016 Brexit vote, marking the first time a UK leader has publicly confirmed evidence of Kremlin involvement. Speaking on the podcast "The Rest Is Politics", Burnham said he asked officials after entering Downing Street in July whether Moscow interfered in the referendum. “I’ve had the clear answer that yes, there was,” he stated. He gave no details on methods or evidence and did not claim it changed the outcome. Burnham, who has floated possible future EU re-engagement, urged voters in France and Germany to recognise Moscow-backed disinformation efforts. His remarks contrast with former PM Boris Johnson’s 2020 assertion of no evidence. Russia has previously denied meddling, while a 2020 parliamentary report criticised the then-government for failing to fully investigate. The Russian embassy did not immediately comment.
