El precio del barril de petróleo vuelve a subir, mientras la guerra en Medio Oriente se extiende y jaquea a la economía mundial
Mientras el precio del petróleo siguió subiendo en los mercados internacionales, la guerra en Medio Oriente se extiende a nuevos frentes y amenaza con repercusiones para la economía global con la ofensiva de los rebeldes de Yemen, aliados de Irán, contra buques sauditas en el mar Rojo.
En ese escenario, el presidente estadounidense, Donald Trump, amenazó con un “gran castigo militar” a Irán y a los rebeldes hutíes de Yemen si lanzan nuevos ataques.
El barril de crudo brent para entrega en septiembre subió 6 dólares en menos de 24 horas al pasar de los 94 dólares en los que cerró el miércoles a hasta los 100,69 dólares que tocó este jueves mediante un alza de más del 7,03%.
Por su parte, el West Texas Intermediate (WTI), de referencia en Estados Unidos, también subió el 4,92%, hasta los 90,95 dólares, mientras que el gas natural TTF caía un 1,3%, y el megavatio/hora tocó los 61,75 euros.
El fuerte repunte del precio del crudo se produjo después de que milicianos hutíes respaldados por Teherán reivindicaran ataques contra dos petroleros sauditas en el mar Rojo. Esta ofensiva abrió un nuevo punto de conflicto en otra importante vía comercial del crudo en el mundo cuando se entra en el decimotercer día de ofensiva de Estados Unidos contra Irán pese al acuerdo alcanzado en junio.
El caos se apodera del estrecho de Ormuz
Las hostilidades se reanudaron a principios de este mes tras un alto el fuego que duró apenas semanas, en una espiral que volvió a sumir a la región en un caos por el control del vital estrecho de Ormuz.
El conflicto se extendió al mar Rojo esta semana después de que los rebeldes de Yemen declararan un bloqueo de los puertos de Arabia Saudita y después afirmaran que atacaron a dos petroleros sauditas.

El secretario general de la ONU, Antonio Guterres, afirmó en una reunión del Consejo de Seguridad que la situación en Medio Oriente “está fuera de control”. “Una crisis alimenta a otra. Una escalada desencadena la siguiente”, declaró.
Mientras tanto, Jordania y Kuwait informaron haber interceptado proyectiles, mientras que el ejército de Irán y su Guardia Revolucionaria Islámica anunciaron golpes a objetivos militares estadounidenses en ambos países.

“Las represalias de las fuerzas armadas continuarán mientras sigan los ataques de Estados Unidos contra la infraestructura y las zonas costeras del país”, dijo el portavoz de las fuerzas armadas iraníes, Mohamad Akraminia, según la televisión estatal.
Ataques en el mar Rojo
Estas hostilidades se produjeron tras la duodécima noche consecutiva de ataques de Estados Unidos contra instalaciones militares de la república islámica.
El miércoles, Trump advirtió que su país bombardeará la infraestructura civil iraní cada vez que Teherán dispare contra buques en Ormuz, dada su importancia en el comercio global de hidrocarburos.
El canciller iraní, Abás Araqchi, respondió que Teherán responderá de la misma manera: “Nuestra doctrina de defensa es clara: ojo por ojo”.
Los medios estatales iraníes informaron este jueves que un ataque estadounidense mató a dos personas en Shalamcheh, en la frontera de la república islámica con Irak. También reportaron que dos misiles estadounidenses impactaron en Bushehr, sede de la única planta nuclear civil del país y blanco frecuente de Washington.

Los hutíes yemenitas afirmaron que atacaron el miércoles con misiles y drones dos petroleros sauditas en el mar Rojo, el Encelia y el Layla, y concretaron así su amenaza de bloquear a Arabia Saudita en esas aguas que sirven de vía alterna a Ormuz.
Riad confirmó que el Encelia fue alcanzado, sin hacer comentarios sobre el otro petrolero. Aún no está claro hasta qué punto los hutíes podrían implementar un bloqueo, pero la amenaza podría agravar el impacto del cierre que Irán mantiene en Ormuz.
Allí la Guardia Revolucionaria afirmó este jueves que impidió el paso a tres petroleros, mientras Washington y Teherán compiten por el control de esta ruta por la que transitaba alrededor de una quinta parte del petróleo mundial antes de la guerra.

Mamdani slow to respond to suspected antisemitic stabbing as Hochul, other NY officials condemn attack
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani remained silent for serveal hours on what officials described as an antisemitic stabbing in New York City on Thursday afternoon, choosing to instead post about his millionaire housing tax initiative — even as the attack drew attention from other state officials.
«I have been briefed on today’s horrifying stabbings on the Upper West Side, where an Asian man and a Jewish man were attacked. According to witness and victim statements, the perpetrator yelled «Allahu Akbar» during both attacks. I am relieved that both victims are in stable condition,» Mamdani wrote in a statement.
«The NYPD responded immediately and arrested Raul Morales in connection with both assaults—and I am grateful to the officers for their swift response.»
The delayed response from Mamdani played into the fears of some observers that his critical stances towards Israel, views shared by many progressives, are feeding into hesitations about supporting Jewish communities in the U.S.
LIBERAL MS NOW WRITER CALLS MAMDANI PRIMARY SWEEP A ‘GENUINELY SCARY NIGHT FOR NEW YORK CITY JEWS’

Councilwoman Inna Vernikov, another member of the New York City Council, more pointedly laid blame with Mamdani.
«According to credible reports I received, the attacker was yelling ‘Allahu Akbar’ during his attempted murder. I pray for the speedy recovery of the victims. [Mamdani,] you got blood on your hands,» she wrote.
Authorities reported that a 57-year-old man was reportedly attacked near West 84th Street and Central Park West just after 1:30 p.m. local time. He was found conscious and alert with a stab wound to his back. He was taken to a local hospital in stable condition.
Investigators later found another 50-year-old man nearby with a stab wound to his torso. He was also conscious and alert and was taken to a nearby hospital.
City officials described the violence as an «antisemitic stabbing,» though police have not yet identified a motive or said whether the attacks are being investigated as a hate crime.
Raul Morales, the suspect, is in custody, the New York City Police Department (NYPD) told Fox News Digital.

Almost immediately, the incident drew alarm and condemnation from observers, expressing dismay at another instance of violence against the Jewish community in New York City.
«Disgusted by what appears to be another senseless attack on New Yorkers simply because they’re Jewish,» New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a post to X.
«While we await additional details to be confirmed, we know that what is happening in our city is abhorrent. The fear in the Jewish community is real. Every New Yorker deserves to feel safe in their neighborhood, regardless of their faith or identity.»

«A man yelling ‘allahu akbar’ stabbed a man in a kippah at 86th and Amsterdam Avenue on the Upper West Side at 1:30 pm today, then likely stabbed someone else at 84th and Central Park West. Has apparently been caught. On the Jewish day of mourning. In Zohran Mamdani’s city,» another observer wrote.
Even as the incident captured attention online, Mamdani remained notably silent on the attack. Instead, he made a post on his recent housing tax plan, a strategy to dissuade wealthy New Yorkers from purchasing and keeping an outsized number of residences.
«If you have a second home in New York City worth more than $5M, check your mailbox when you’re back in the five boroughs — because you’ve got mail. Today, we sent notification letters to property owners, letting them know that our new pied-à-terre tax is coming soon,» Mamdani wrote at 3:55, almost two and a half hours after the attack.

In the first quarter of 2026, the New York Police Department has received 146 hate crime complaints and made 71 arrests, according to police data — an uptick from 137 complaints and 51 arrests in the first quarter of 2025.
Mamdani’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether factors behind the scenes had caused a delay in response.

California mayor’s hot mic catches candid exchange after audience sends meeting off rails
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A live microphone exposed a behind-the-scenes conversation between Sacramento’s mayor and vice mayor as they discussed whether disruptive protesters could be barred from future city council meetings after a heated immigration-related debate descended into chaos.
«We should go over this disruptions thing, because if we want to ban somebody in the future, like to take them out, we have to point out specifically…» Vice Mayor Karina Talamantes is heard saying.
«I know, but the city attorney said we can’t do that,» Mayor Kevin McCarty replied.
«We did it last time,» Talamantes responded.
GOP SENATORS RALLY AROUND NEW DHS PROPOSAL TARGETING SANCTUARY CITIES: ‘SHOULD PAY A PRICE’

«We can’t,» McCarty said, shaking his head. «I spent my first six months going over this. I wanted to give people, like, probation, like, you can’t come…»
Talamantes then appeared to realize the microphone was still live and quickly reached over to switch it off before continuing the conversation, according to the publicly available city council livestream reviewed by Fox News Digital.
The awkward exchange unfolded Tuesday after Sacramento City Council recessed and ordered the public removed from the chambers following repeated disruptions during a fiery debate over the city’s continued participation in a regional intelligence-sharing center.
The confrontation escalated after Talamantes defended accepting federal funding for the Central California Intelligence Center, or CCIC, arguing Sacramento’s sanctuary city policies and immigrant protections made the city better suited to oversee the grant than other jurisdictions.
«The city of Sacramento is a sanctuary city,» Talamantes said during the meeting. «If we don’t pass these dollars, other counties will apply for these dollars, they will get those dollars and we will have no safeguards to protect our immigrant communities here in Sacramento.»
Dozens of speakers had earlier urged the council to reject the agreement, arguing the intelligence center could facilitate information sharing with federal immigration authorities and undermine Sacramento’s sanctuary city policies.
Police officials repeatedly disputed those claims during the meeting, telling council members Sacramento does not share personal identifying information for civil immigration enforcement and complies with California’s sanctuary law, known as SB 54.

As public comment grew increasingly heated, one speaker repeatedly demanded McCarty pay attention.
«Kevin, I need your f—ing eyes. Kevin, listen to me. Stop being an a–hole, dude. Listen to your f—ing constituents,» the speaker shouted.
Following Talamantes’ remarks, another round of shouting erupted inside the council chambers.

«You’re a pick-me b—-,» one attendee shouted at Talamantes, while others yelled, «Shame on you.»
McCarty responded with what he described as a «final notice.»
«This is the final notice,» the mayor said. «We’re going to continue with the deliberation, and if there’s any more outbursts, we’re gonna have to ask the audience to leave.»
Seconds later, the disruptions intensified.

«You can’t do this behind closed f—ing doors!» one attendee shouted.
«We are the community,» another yelled.
«You represent us. You are our f—ing audience,» another voice exclaimed as council members attempted to continue the meeting.
Council officials then paused the meeting and cleared the chambers after repeated disruptions prevented deliberations from continuing.
Following the meeting, McCarty said the private conversation focused on existing meeting procedures, not new restrictions.
«Every Tuesday, Vice Mayor Talamantes and I are responsible for overseeing and ensuring transparent, accessible, and open Council meetings,» McCarty said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
«Unfortunately, when meetings are repeatedly disrupted, we must discuss existing policies and rules to ensure Council meetings remain effective, orderly, and respectful for both the residents in attendance and the Councilmembers. We are committed to ensuring that all members of the public can access and engage safely without distraction or intimidation.»
Mayor Kevin McCarty warned attendees about repeated disruptions before the council chambers were cleared and a hot-mic conversation followed. (City of Sacramento)
The Sacramento City Attorney’s Office declined to address McCarty’s reference to legal advice during the hot-mic exchange.
«The City Attorney’s Office has no comment and will not be providing comment on this matter,» the office said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
The city’s published meeting rules state that members of the public receive two minutes per agenda item and may speak on no more than four items during a meeting, limits intended to help the council conduct city business.
The hot-mic exchange quickly drew criticism from some activists, who argued Talamantes appeared interested in silencing vocal opponents.
Joshua Masias, a volunteer organizer with the Sac Immigration Committee, told The Sacramento Bee the conversation showed an authoritative approach toward members of the public.
«It’s very authoritative how she wants to use her power,» Masias told the outlet. «It stuck out to me that she was the only one to try to silence the crowd.»
Resident Leanna Hunt, one of the council’s most outspoken critics, also defended the protesters’ frustration.

«I’m fed up,» Hunt told the Bee. «It’s not even a tactic — I’m just tired of being treated like we are an audience and that the king is deigning to see us peasants today and when the peasants are unruly, the king gets upset.»
Fox News Digital reached out to Vice Mayor Talamantes’ office, Sacramento Police Department and the Sac Immigration Committee for additional comment.
