About RussiaEasesDieselBan
Russia partly lifted its diesel export ban on Oct 10, allowing an initial 500,000 tonnes for global markets. The US also temporarily authorized eligible Russian diesel trade. Trump claimed an energy ceasefire with Ukraine on Oct 11, but Kyiv sought details and Moscow had not confirmed it. Brent futures fell 1.31% to $103.35 a barrel at 00:37 GMT on Oct 12. Deliveries remain uncertain, while tanker attacks near the Strait of Hormuz keep shipping risks in focus. Can added supply ease oil prices?

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump may strike Iran BEFORE the midterms to PREVENT IRAN FROM STRIKING FIRST
Trita Parsi believes the timeline for another U.S. attack on Iran is accelerating, despite Trump's promise not to strike before November 3.
His reasoning is unsettling.
Washington may have concluded that Iran is preparing its own preemptive attack, potentially just days before the midterms.
That would leave Trump looking powerless at the worst possible political moment.
Parsi suspects the administration may now prefer a limited American strike first, not necessarily to win a military victory, but to retain control over when and how the confrontation begins.
Meanwhile, negotiations remain stuck over Iran's enriched uranium, with Washington demanding concessions Tehran is increasingly reluctant to make.
Parsi warns that even a supposedly limited strike could trigger retaliation neither side can contain.
And the military buildup suggests Washington is running out of patience.
The danger is that both sides may end up attacking first because each believes the other is about to do exactly that.
