US forces are launching new strikes on Iran, Iranian leaders are threatening to choke off oil and gas exports, and tankers are once again at risk around the Strait of Hormuz. Instead of de‑escalation, the region is being dragged deeper into a dangerous confrontation over fossil fuel supply routes.

@greenpeace absolutely terrible 
Thousands of people across the Middle East have already been killed in the US‑Israeli war with Iran. Many more are living with shattered homes, toxic smoke, oil pollution and damage to fragile land and sea ecosystems. Governments keep finding billions for missiles, blockades and oil infrastructure, while hospitals, schools, clean energy and basic services that could keep people safe go underfunded.
This is fossilflation: wars, price shocks and insecurity driven by our dependence on oil and gas. Greenpeace is calling for an immediate ceasefire, protection of civilians and ecosystems, and a return to diplomacy rooted in international law. That must go hand in hand with a rapid shift to decentralised renewable energy so public money goes to people’s needs and security, not endless fossil fuel crises.
@greenpeace my hope is that this time major governments that are not involved (europe, canada, japan, etc..) learn and then adapt by making policies that incentivize the production of energy inside their borders. Ideally and almost mandatory that energy production will be renewable. Complete uncoupling from fossil fuels and uncertainty
