US‑Iran clash deepens, Gulf unrest spreads, oil holds

Overview

After the July 11 UN warning that Iran could abandon the tentative US‑Iran cease‑fire if Washington strikes again, Tehran’s retaliatory attacks on US assets in Qatar and Oman continued, prompting Qatari air defenses to intercept. Poland’s embassy in Doha issued a highest‑level travel advisory, urging “do not travel” to Qatar and transit passengers. Brent crude stayed above $100 per barrel and European LNG costs rose. On 12 July attacks in Qatar wounded three civilians and unrest was reported in the UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and Jordan, widening Gulf insecurity. The US‑Iran framework signed a month earlier showed signs of collapse; President Trump re‑imposed a sea‑blockade on vessels bound for Iranian ports and the IRGC announced the Strait of Hormuz closed. A 20 % protection fee on Hormuz cargoes was imposed, drawing criticism from German shipowners. 13 July Australia upgraded its travel advisory for the UAE and Qatar, citing unpredictable security after Iranian missiles and drones hit Gulf states following US strikes. US Senate leaders grappled with the war: Chuck Schumer urged a withdrawal of forces, while health issues for Senate Appropriations Chair Mitch McConnell and the death of Sen. Lindsey Graham left a 14‑14 split on a $1.5 trillion defence budget. On 14 July Iran’s oil minister said crude exports continued “normally” despite the renewed US sanctions, pushing Brent up more than 5 % as US strikes entered a third night. Trump reiterated that the US would keep striking Iran, describing the campaign as a “military skirmish,” and kept the naval blockade and 20 % fee, while saying a diplomatic path remained open. The same day Iran suspended disability benefits for thousands of citizens, deepening domestic hardship amid inflation and budget shortfalls.
