📖 🇮🇶 🇮🇶 Explained: What is Kataib Hezbollah, the group targeted by US
🔶️ Kataib Hezbollah, also known as the Hezbollah Brigades, is an Iran-backed Iraqi militia accused of launching the drone strike in Jordan. Established in 2007 by Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, a close associate of Iran’s top general Qasem Soleimani, the group operates within the Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF), an umbrella organisation of mostly Shia armed groups. Both al-Muhandis and Soleimani were killed in a US drone strike in 2020, escalating tensions between the US and Iran.
🔶️ The group adheres to the ideology of Wilayat al-Faqih, granting Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ultimate authority over Shia Muslims. Designated a foreign terrorist organisation by the US since 2009, Kataib Hezbollah has denied involvement in some attacks, accusing the US of violating Iraq’s sovereignty.
🔶️ Led by Abu Fadak al-Mohammadawi, Kataib Hezbollah’s size and structure remain unclear, but it is estimated to have thousands of fighters with access to various weapons. The group has engaged in attacks against US forces, as well as against perceived enemies in Iraq and the region, and has deployed fighters to support Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad against rebels. In 2021, the group participated in Iraq’s elections, winning seats in parliament.

US diesel crack surpasses $100 a barrel for the first time on supply disruptions
... and the supply of refined fuels is already nearly exhausted. A hard landing is visible ahead, for farmers, for trucking, and ... well, for everything that requires food (people) and energy (the entire economy).
These are very likely the final days of relative normalcy during which to prepare. Get ready.
🌾 🌍 🚜 JPMorgan warns a massive global food supply crisis could begin next year as fertilizer shortages tighten agricultural supply.
JPMorgan is the latest institutional research desk to warn that the next global food crisis may already be taking shape, driven by what its analysts describe as the "Five Ws": War, Weather, Warehousing, Water, and Waste.
In a new report titled Food Security Is National Security: A Compounding Storm, a team led by London-based senior global economist Nora Szentivanyi warned that disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz and the emergence of a potentially historic El Niño could weaken crop yields, constrain agricultural production, and keep food inflation elevated through the first half of 2027.
"Successive shocks since COVID have compounded, eroding food production capacity and keeping food price pressures elevated into 2027," Szentivanyi said, warning that "this is not a short-lived shock; it has reduced the likelihood of near-term disinflation, and the food ...
