Martin Lewis is now doling out driving tips to help combat the Strait of Hormuz price hikes. Possibly the most daft thing I've ever watched.

The Kurdistan Freedom Party (PAK) released a footage urging Kurdish forces to unite against Iran. The fighter shown appears armed with a US-made 5.56×45 mm FN/Colt M4A1 carbine.

JUST IN: 🇮🇷 Iran considers charging taxes and toll fees to cross the Strait of Hormuz.

QatarEnergy’s Ras Laffan Industrial City to the north of Doha, Qatar's main site for the production of liquefied natural gas and gas-to-liquid, as well as the largest export terminal for LNG in the world, has been heavily targeted tonight by ballistic missiles fired by Iran. Extensive damage to the site and several facilities are being reported by QatarEnergy.

🚨 BREAKING: Israel has struck Iran’s South Pars gas field, the world’s largest natural gas field and a core pillar of Iran’s energy supply. The major escalation comes alongside reported impacts on other oil and petrochemical facilities in the Assaluyeh area of Bushehr province, according to multiple reports. IRGC-linked Tasnim News issued an urgent warning urging people to immediately leave major oil and gas sites in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar, saying they had become “direct and legitimate targets” that could be struck within hours. They listed: ➤ Samref Refinery — Saudi Arabia ➤ Al Hosn Gas Field — UAE ➤ Jubail Petrochemical Complex — Saudi Arabia ➤ Mesaieed Petrochemical Complex — Qatar ➤ Ras Laffan Refinery — Qatar The report added: “Previously, clear and repeated warnings were given to your rulers about entering this dangerous path and gambling with the fate of their nations.”

The IRGC is a threat to the United Kingdom. Our allies have designated the IRGC as a terrorist organisation, why haven’t we? Conservatives will work with the government to proscribe the IRGC.
