Arab Spring 2.0? Fuel Riots Erupt In Syria As Instability Spreads Across Mideast
New footage posted on X shows what appear to be protests, with Israeli news organizations saying the anger is erupting because of skyrocketing fuel costs, reminiscent of the Arab Spring food riots 15 years ago.
i24NEWS reports that demonstrations have popped up in parts of Raqqa, Hasakah and Deir ez-Zor provinces, with protesters blocking roads and stopping oil tankers as rising energy costs intensify affordability pressures.

Nach Angriffen auf Saudi-Pipeline und Huthi-Vormasch droht weiterer Ölpreis-Anstieg (Der Standard)

Doppelschlag gegen Riad: Die Huthis wollen die Meerenge Bab al-Mandab für das Königreich sperren, irakische Milizen griffen eine zentrale Pipeline an.

Seit Beginn des Iran-Kriegs Ende Februar und der darauffolgenden weitestgehenden Blockade der Straße von Hormus durch iranische Drohungen und Angriffe auf Schiffe versucht Saudi-Arabien mit Hilfe der Pipeline einen noch größeren Einbruch seiner Ölexporte zu verhindern..

For years, the Navy has managed its Middle East fleet operations out of Naval Support Activity Bahrain. Iranian forces began targeting the base after U.S. and Israeli forces launched strikes on Iran on Feb. 28.
"They blew the hell out of Bahrain," acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao said in an interview with The Epoch Times on Sept. 9, as he concluded a visit to a shipyard in Philadelphia.
While open-source imagery had previously indicated the Bahrain naval base sustained damage, Cao's comment marked a direct and officia...
