To Ger-man-y.
“Deliveries currently unaffected.”
First LNG deliveries from Oman to German firm begin despite Iran war – The first deliveries of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Oman to a German company have begun despite the war in Iran, said a spokesperson for the German state-owned gas supplier Sefe on Wednesday.
The deliveries are currently unaffected by the developments in the Gulf region and have commenced as planned, said the spokesperson.
But it’s just a consideration for now.
Germany considers ramping up coal power to avert energy crisis – Increasing use of the dirtiest fossil fuel would likely increase the country’s CO2 emissions.
That means speed limit.
And that ain’t never gonna happen in Germany. Think banning guns in the USA.
‘Tempolimit? Nein, danke!’: why German petrolheads won’t slow down – despite the energy crisis – Driving fast is in ‘the German DNA’, say lovers of the speed-limit free Autobahn, but support in the country for a restriction is growing.
Coming from a German? In Germany?
I’ve never yet heard a German say anything about Donald Trump that wasn’t a rebuke.
German president calls Iran war a disastrous mistake, in rare rebuke of Trump.
This is, by the way, the same German president who went out of his way to celebrate the Iranian revolution – “For a long time, Germany stood firmly by the Iranian regime.”
And that’s saying a lot.
Energy bottleneck in Middle East is damaging German economy – Expensive energy, rising prices and disrupted supply chains are all bad news for economic growth. The German government is alarmed by events in the Middle East.
When the US and Israel attacked Iran, the response was not long in coming. Iran is no longer allowing ships to pass through its coastal waters. The Strait of Hormuz, the bottleneck in the Persian Gulf through which 20% of the global oil trade passes every day, is now effectively blocked.
After the attack, the price of oil immediately rose sharply. Prices for gasoline and diesel also skyrocketed at German gas stations. Depending on the region, premium gasoline even went as high €2.50 ($2.89) per liter. The average price for diesel is currently just over €2, which is €0.30 higher than before the attack on Iran.
The Iran conflict is ruining German vacation plans!
Call in the Germany military – to get German vactioners out.
Iran war: Tens of thousands of German travelers stranded – German tour operators say at least 30,000 customers have been left without travel options after thousands of flights were canceled across the Middle East because of the US-Israel war with Iran.
Tens of thousands of people on trips organized by German travel agencies have been affected by US-Israel war with Iran, a leading trade group said on Monday.
Figures from the German Travel Association suggest that some 30,000 tourists are unable to fly home amid the hostilities, which have prompted several countries in the region to close their airspace, while many airlines have put flights into and out of the crisis area on hold.
German flagship carrier Lufthansa is among those airlines. The company said that airspace over Israel, Iran, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and the Saudi airport of Dammam will not be used by Lufthansa and its subsidiaries until at least March 8. United Arab Emirates airspace will be avoided until March 4.
Yes. Maybe.
But only after everything’s all over.
Germany said considering joining Israel-US campaign against Iran – Germany is seriously considering joining the US-Israeli campaign against Iran if the regime does not cease attacking countries in the region amid the conflict, German political and military sources tell Israel’s Army Radio.
Planning for possible military action with the United States is already underway, ranging from joining bombing strikes to providing military and aerial assistance, officials in Germany’s foreign ministry and members of the Bundestag’s Foreign Affairs Committee tell the radio station.
In Berlin?
I’m going to mark this one down in my calendar. These are very rare events.
Solidarity protests for Iran draw thousands in Berlin – Several thousand rallied in Germany’s capital demanding freedom in Iran and justice for victims of the government’s clampdown. Rally organizers said they opposed both clerical rule and a return to monarchy in Iran.
Thousands were killed in Iran in early 2026 as authorities crushed anti-government protests sparked by the country’s ailing economy.
Demonstrations against the clampdown, organized by Iranians living in exile and their supporters, have swept across Europe in the weeks since.
That means effectively finished.
Iran’s regime is finished, says Merz – “I assume that we are now witnessing the final days and weeks of this regime,” German chancellor says as Iranian protests sweep the country.
“If a regime can only stay in power through violence, then it is effectively finished. I assume that we are now witnessing the final days and weeks of this regime.”
