Oil prices started climbing again after US President Donald Trump reiterated threats to hit Iran "extremely hard" in the coming weeks and failed to give concrete details on how the war will end.

Brent crude briefly surged past $109 (£82) a barrel and stock markets in the US, Europe and Asia fell following Trump's address from the White House.

He said that the US would complete its strategic objectives for the war "very shortly" and spend the next two to three weeks bombing Iran "back to the Stone Ages".

Earlier on Wednesday, oil prices dipped below $100 ahead of the speech on hopes Trump would say how the US would exit the conflict but his address repeated the same points he made

Gibraltar supplied almost a third of Spain’s maritime fuel imports last year, according to figures reported by the Spanish press.

Data from Spain’s strategic petroleum reserves body, CORES, shows fuel imports from Gibraltar reached 1.89 million tonnes in 2025, accounting for just over 30 per cent of Spain’s total fuel oil imports.

The report by CORES shows Spain imported a total of 256 thousand tonnes of petrol products from Gibraltar in 2025.

Gibraltar was the second highest exported to Spain after Italy, according to the statistic.

The report by Europa Sur suggests Gibraltar has gone from being a marginal supplier in 2021 to one of Spain’s main external sources of marine fuel in just five years.

The world faces yet another shock. The war in the Middle East is upending lives and livelihoods in the region and beyond. It is also dimming the outlook for many economies that had only just shown signs of a sustained recovery from previous crises.

The shock is global, yet asymmetric. Energy importers are more exposed than exporters, poorer countries more than richer ones, and those with meager buffers more than those with ample reserves.

Beyond its painful human toll, the war has caused serious disruption to the economies of the most

Veamos sus titánicos datos y su razón de ser a continuación.

Wärtsilä-Sulzer RTA96C, el monstruoso corazón del titán

Resulta que la compañía filandesa Wärtsilä puso en servicio este basto motor en 2006 para dar vida al Emma Mærsk, un buque de carga de 397m de largo y que pesa 170.974 toneladas (sin contar carga).
