Fox News reports that drawdowns made to the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) have left the emergency stockpile at its lowest level since 1983.

.

High market prices have reportedly delayed efforts made to replenish the reserve, as Israel's war against Hamas could destabilize oil supplies worldwide.

High market prices have reportedly delayed efforts made to replenish the reserve, as Israel's war against Hamas could destabilize oil supplies worldwide.

.

According to data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), the SPR had approximately 351.3 million barrels of oil as of September 29.

.

Fox News reports that for most of the last decade, the emergency stockpile has stood at over 650 million barrels.

According to an EIA estimate, the U.S. consumes an estimated 20 million barrels of oil per day.

.

This means that the SPR would be depleted after just 17 days if America could no longer access "new domestic production or imports," Fox News reports.

.

Fox News reports that the historical average since 1990 has seen the emergency stockpile maintain approximately 33 days worth of oil reserves.

.

In 1975, the SPR was created under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act following an oil embargo by OPEC that lasted from 1973 to 1974.

America’s SPR remains the largest in the world and stands ready to deliver on its mission to provide refiners and the American public relief in the event of supply disruptions, United States Department of Energy, via Fox Business.

Initially, the SPR was intended to have a one billion barrel capacity, but it has never reached that level.

Fox News reports that SPR supplies are held at four locations in salt caverns located thousands of feet below ground to prevent leaking oil from seeping out.

Saudi Arabia Ditch Trump For Putin | MBS Wants Russia In Middle East Not USA | Here's Why!!!

In a striking display of diplomatic unity, Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan declared that Riyadh welcomes Russia’s role in Middle Eastern affairs during a high-profile press conference with Russian FM Sergey Lavrov in Moscow. The comment signals a major shift in Gulf geopolitics, showing Saudi Arabia's increasing tilt toward Moscow as regional dynamics evolve. Lavrov and Farhan met at the Russian MFA Reception House, emphasizing cooperation on regional security, energy, and investment. Farhan praised Russia’s involvement as “always welcome,” underlining a growing partnership despite global Western efforts to isolate Moscow. The press conference further confirms Russia's expanding clout in the Gulf as the Kremlin strengthens alliances outside the West. The talks come amid heightened tensions in the region, and suggest Saudi Arabia is now playing a more independent, multi-vector diplomatic game — balancing its ties between Washington, Moscow, and Beijing. #SaudiArabia #Russia #Lavrov #FaisalBinFarhan #MiddleEast #Geopolitics #Putin #RussiaSaudiTies #Diplomacy #Moscow #SaudiFM #RussiaNews #GulfPolitics #BRICS #SaudiRussiaRelations #MiddleEastPolicy #EnergyPolitics #GlobalSouth #ForeignAffairs #WorldNews ~HT.410~ED.420~

U.S. Braces for July 4 Terror Attack: FBI & DHS on HIGH ALERT as Iran-Backed Revenge Threat Looms [Video]

U.S. Braces for July 4 Terror Attack: FBI & DHS on HIGH ALERT as Iran-Backed Revenge Threat Looms

Ahead of the United States' Independence Day celebrations, federal agencies have issued a serious warning about potential terrorist attacks, specifically from lone wolf actors. This elevated threat level is a direct consequence of escalating tensions in the Middle East, where the U.S. has become more involved in the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict. The situation intensified after U.S. B-2 Spirit bombers conducted a major operation on June 22, dropping heavy bunker buster bombs on three of Iran's nuclear facilities in a strategic move to aid Israel. In response to the potential for retaliatory attacks, security has been visibly bolstered across the country. New York Governor Kathy Hochul has identified lone wolves as the "greatest threat" to July 4th events, announcing an increased presence of State Police and the deployment of National Guard units at major transportation hubs, bridges, and tunnels throughout New York City. Authorities are also closely monitoring social media for any signs of cyber threats or domestic terror plots. The threat is not limited to New York. An FBI bulletin has specifically warned that San Francisco's famous fireworks show could be a target for a mass casualty attack. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has officially raised the national threat level to "Heightened" and stated it will remain in effect until September 22, citing the direct link to the escalating conflict between Iran and the U.S. While no specific or credible plots have been identified, federal and state agencies remain on high alert to counter any security situation that may arise during the holiday. #USTerrorAlert #July4th #USIranConflict #BreakingNews #WorldNews #OneindiaNews #KathyHochul #LoneWolf #MiddleEast #DHS ~HT.410~ED.194~GR.124~

Gaza Attacked from Sky: 94 Killed in Overnight Strikes— Aid Seekers Bombed, Children Burned in Tents

The Gaza crisis has reached a horrifying new level. Overnight Israeli airstrikes killed 94 Palestinians, including 45 people waiting for humanitarian aid. Dozens were burned alive in tents in Muwasi, and 15 more were killed when a school sheltering displaced families was hit in Gaza City. Since October 2023, Gaza’s Health Ministry reports over 57,000 Palestinians killed — more than half of them women and children. Over 90% of Gaza's 2.3 million people are now displaced, with hundreds of thousands facing starvation. The international community remains divided, as Israel has not commented on the latest wave of strikes. Meanwhile, talks of a potential 60-day ceasefire continue with no resolution in sight. This is not just a war — it’s a humanitarian catastrophe. #Gaza #Palestine #Israel #GazaUnderAttack #HumanitarianCrisis #GazaAirstrikes #CeasefireNow #StopTheWar #MiddleEastCrisis #WarCrimes #SaveGaza #IDF #Hamas #UN #BreakingNews #GazaChildren #GazaBombing #FreePalestine Also Read Middle East: UN Labels Gaza 'The Hungriest Place On Earth' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/middle-east-un-labels-gaza-the-hungriest-place-on-earth-4168609.html?ref=DMDesc Missile from Yemen Disrupts Flights in Israel Ahead of Key Vote on Gaza War :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/missile-from-yemen-disrupts-flights-in-israel-ahead-of-key-vote-on-gaza-war-4143509.html?ref=DMDesc Immense Pressure From Families Of Hostages: Netanyahu Says Israel Has To Continue Fighting In Gaza :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/immense-pressure-from-families-of-hostages-netanyahu-says-israel-has-to-continue-fighting-in-gaza-4128785.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.420~

Trump's New Threat in New York? Mamdani Set to Win Mayor Race but with Fear of Federal Fund Cut [Video]

Trump's New Threat in New York? Mamdani Set to Win Mayor Race but with Fear of Federal Fund Cut

U.S. President Donald Trump has warned that New York City could lose over $100 million in federal funding if Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani becomes mayor. In a fiery Fox News interview, Trump labeled Mamdani a “pure communist” and said his election would be “inconceivable.” Mamdani, a rising progressive voice, has hit back, accusing Trump of using xenophobic and racially charged attacks to derail serious policy debate. The mayoral race is heating up as Mamdani promises to tax the wealthy and shift the burden off working-class New Yorkers. Meanwhile, former Governor Andrew Cuomo may re-enter the race as an independent, turning this into a high-stakes national battle. Is Trump using funding threats as political blackmail—or is Mamdani’s rise shaking the conservative establishment? #ZohranMamdani #DonaldTrump #NYCMayorRace #TrumpVsMamdani #NYCElections #FederalFunding #ProgressivePolitics #CommunistAccusation #AndrewCuomo #PoliticalThreats #GracieMansion #TaxTheRich #TrumpNews #USPolitics ~PR.274~HT.408~GR.125~

636 Days Too Late? Netanyahu GRILLED And Shamed By Freed Hostages In Emotional Nir Oz Clash [Video]

636 Days Too Late? Netanyahu GRILLED And Shamed By Freed Hostages In Emotional Nir Oz Clash

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Kibbutz Nir Oz for the first time since the October 7 Hamas massacre, 636 days after the attack. The kibbutz lost 117 of its 400 residents in the atrocity, and nine remain hostages in Gaza. While the visit included emotional embraces and moments of unity, Netanyahu faced scathing criticism from freed hostages and bereaved families. Nili Margalit, a nurse once held captive, refused to shake his hand, demanding responsibility and a hostage deal. Other families accused him of political delay, urging him to act before his upcoming White House visit. The emotionally fraught visit included calls for a state commission of inquiry, with survivors insisting the tragedy cannot be brushed aside. Netanyahu promised to bring all hostages home and help rebuild Nir Oz. Analysts view this long-delayed visit as a possible signal of readiness to strike a ceasefire deal. #Netanyahu #NirOz #IsraelHamasWar #HostageCrisis #GazaHostages #October7 #KibbutzAttack #IsraelPolitics #HamasAttack #IDF #SaraNetanyahu #FreedHostages #StateInquiry #MiddleEastConflict #CeasefireDeal #WhiteHouseVisit #HostageFamilies #NiliMargalit #MatanZangauker #GazaWar Also Read Trump Labels Netanyahu Case A ‘Witch Hunt,’ Blasts Israeli Prosecutors :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-labels-netanyahu-case-a-witch-hunt-blasts-israeli-prosecutors-7786131.html?ref=DMDesc Netanyahu Draws Flak For Equating Son’s Postponed Wedding With War Deaths: 'Personal Cost For His FiancĂ©e Too' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-draws-flak-for-equating-son-s-postponed-wedding-with-war-deaths-personal-cost-for-his-fi-7778281.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump Supported Israel's Plan To Kill Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei: US Officials :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-supported-israels-plan-to-kill-iran-supreme-leader-ayatollah-ali-khamenei-us-offici-4182653.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.346~HT.408~

Terrifying Hamas VIDEO Shows Maxim Herkin, Bar Kuperstein Alive; ‘Please!’: Hostages Beg for Help

The families of Israeli hostages Maxim Herkin and Bar Kuperstein have authorized the release of a deeply unsettling video snippet originally published by Hamas in April. This 44-second clip shows the two men, visibly distressed and pleading for their lives, as part of a strategic push by the families to secure a comprehensive hostage return deal with Hamas, rather than partial agreements.

Hamas DIRECTLY CHALLENGES Trump; Rejects U.S' 60-Day Ceasefire Proposal; 'End the War Or...'

Hamas has indicated it is open to a ceasefire agreement but has effectively rejected the latest American-backed proposal, insisting that any deal must lead to a permanent end to the war in Gaza. This response comes after US President Trump announced the plan, urging Hamas to accept the terms before conditions worsen. While Israel has reportedly agreed to the initial terms, it maintains that the war will not officially end until its objective of dismantling Hamas is achieved. #IsraelHamasWar #GazaCeasefire #HamasCeasefire #TrumpCeasefirePlan #TrumpGazaCeasefire #IsraelHamasCeasefire #CeasefireTalks #HamasResponse #TrumpOnCeasefire #GazaWarUpdates #CeasefireDeal #HamasDemands #USCeasefirePlan #CeasefireNegotiations #HamasRejectsDeal #TrumpNetanyahu #MiddleEastConflict #GazaCrisis #IsraelHamasConflict #CeasefireLatest ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.102~GR.124~

WATCH: Israeli Drone STRIKE Captured On Video | Target Vehicle OBLITERATED In South Beirut Blast

Chilling new video captures the exact moment an Israeli drone strike destroyed a vehicle on a busy civilian road in Khaldeh, south of Beirut. The targeted attack, which took place amidst regular traffic, resulted in the death of one individual and left three others injured. The incident has sent shockwaves through the region and raised fears of a wider conflict. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) swiftly claimed responsibility for the strike. In a public statement, the IDF claimed it had successfully targeted and eliminated a militant affiliated with Iran’s Quds Force. According to Israeli military sources, the individual killed was deeply involved in smuggling weapons into the region and was actively planning terror attacks against both Israeli civilians and military forces. However, neither Israeli nor Lebanese officials have officially released the name or confirmed the identity of the person killed. This strike is not an isolated event but the latest in a series of escalating Israeli military actions in Lebanon following the collapse of a ceasefire weeks ago. On July 2, another Israeli airstrike in a civilian zone in Nabatieh injured two people, including a child. Furthermore, Israeli troops recently conducted a raid in the Al-Adisa area, targeting Hezbollah fighters. This pattern of conflict was also seen on June 28, when an Israeli drone strike in Kounine killed three people, including senior Hezbollah leader Hassan Hammoudi. These continuous strikes are fueling a volatile situation on the Israel-Lebanon border. #Israel #Lebanon #DroneStrike #Beirut #Khaldeh #IDF #QudsForce #Hezbollah #MiddleEast #BreakingNews #PressTV #UAVStrike #CivilianCasualties #Netanyahu #Iran #LebanonConflict #TerrorPlot #IDFStrike #BeirutBlast #SouthBeirut #Airstrike #IDFOperations #GazaWar #IsraelIran #ConflictZone #LiveFire #LebanonNews #DroneFootage #HezbollahTarget #StrikeAlert #CeasefireCollapse ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.122~
