Oil shock risks wider chain reaction

Oped, Chartchai Parasuk, Published on 16/04/2026

» There is no such thing as a free lunch. When global oil prices rise sharply, as they are doing now, someone must bear the cost.

Fanatics, an obsessive, and a belligerent fool

Oped, Gwynne Dyer, Published on 07/04/2026

» We don't have to look very far to find a useful historical analogy for the current crisis in the Middle East. In 1967, Egypt closed the Strait of Tiran to Israeli ships, and Israel replied with a surprise air attack that destroyed almost the entire Egyptian air force on the ground.

Iran's water weapon against Gulf

Oped, Michael Christopher Low, Published on 07/04/2026
