Oil prices surged past $100 a barrel this week as the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran threatens global energy supplies and the broader economy. Iranian officials say no oil will be allowed to leave the Middle East until the bombardment stops, raising fears of disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, the waterway through which about 20% of the world's oil and gas flows. This comes as Israel has struck oil depots in Tehran, blanketing the capital in smoke and toxic rain.
"What we're seeing is just one of the clearest depictions yet of the frailty of a global order that is grounded in fossil fuels. All sides in this war are using fossil fuels as a weapon of war," says independent investigative journalist Antonia Juhasz, who reports on energy and climate.

House Democrats grilled the heads of ICE, CBP and USCIS at a hearing Tuesday over their role in the Trump administration's brutal campaign to carry out mass deportations. "These three directors are responsible for what we are seeing around the country, whether it's in detention, whether it's in the streets or even in the courts," says Illinois Congressmember Delia Ramirez, who is calling for her fellow Democrats to suspend funding for the Department of Homeland Security unless Republicans agree to their demands to rein in federal immigration agents. We play excerpts from Ramirez and other representatives' remarks about the killings of U.S. citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, the deaths of immigrants in ICE custody and the fear and terror experienced by civilians confronted daily by masked federal agents. "This is more than authoritarianism. This is a de facto dictatorship," says Texas Congressmember Al Green, who also spoke at the hearing.
