Before departing for the G7 Summit in Canada, former US President Donald Trump expressed confidence that Israel and Iran will eventually reach an agreement.

According to a Reuters report, Israel plotted to assassinate Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, a move reportedly vetoed by the Trump administration. A senior U.S. official stated that while Israel maintained frequent communication with the U.S., the assassination plan was halted, as Iran had not directly targeted any Americans. The official could not confirm whether the veto came directly from President Trump.

Amid continued Iranian missile attacks, the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem has advised its employees to take shelter in safe locations.

For those considering leaving, traveling to Jordan by land remains an option.

As tensions escalate between Iran and Israel following an Israeli strike on an Iranian nuclear facility, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has called an emergency meeting.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) projects that crude oil production in the U.S. could decline slightly to 13.37 million barrels per day in 2026, down 50,000 barrels from 2025. A sharp drop in active rigs and slower drilling activity are key factors behind this trend. Shale output, especially from the Permian Basin, is expected to decrease, though offshore production may rise slightly. Meanwhile, global oil demand growth is slowing, while rising supply may lead to increased global crude inventories.
