From Iran–Israel Conflict to Global Crisis: Energy Supplies Under Pressure
From Iran–Israel Conflict to Global Crisis: Energy Supplies Under Pressure
Politics
What’s Happening?
The ongoing conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the United States is now causing a major global energy disruption, with fighting increasingly affecting oil routes and infrastructure. One of the biggest concerns is the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping route for oil and gas, where movement has been heavily disrupted and threats of further attacks continue.
Iran has warned it could mine the entire Gulf or target regional energy and water infrastructure if its territory is attacked further, while the U.S. has signalled it may take military action to reopen shipping routes. According to the International Energy Agency, the world has already lost around 11 million barrels of oil per day, a massive drop in supply caused by the conflict and disruptions to transport routes.
Why is it Important?
The head of the International Energy Agency, Fatih Birol, has warned that this situation could be worse than the oil crises of the 1970s and even the energy shock after the Ukraine war combined.
This matters because energy is connected to almost everything; transport, electricity, food production, and industry. With oil prices rising above $100 per barrel and supply chains under pressure, countries around the world are already seeing market drops, inflation concerns, and fuel shortages. The impact is also spreading beyond energy. Damage to oil and gas systems, along with disruptions to shipping, is affecting fertilisers, chemicals, and even food supply chains, raising fears of longer-term economic challenges.

The Metaverse Dream Slows Down as Meta Rethinks Strategy
The Metaverse Dream Slows Down as Meta Rethinks Strategy
Tech
What’s Happening?
Meta is making a major shift in its metaverse plans, as its virtual reality platform Horizon Worlds is being phased out on VR headsets. The app will be removed from the Quest VR store by the end of March 2026, and by June 15, 2026, users will no longer be able to create or update virtual worlds.
Instead of shutting it down completely, Meta is keeping Horizon Worlds alive but only as a mobile app, moving away from its original idea of a fully immersive VR social space. This is a big change for a platform that CEO Mark Zuckerberg once described as the “next frontier” of the internet.
Why is it Important?
This move shows that the metaverse hasn’t grown as expected. Despite huge investments, Horizon Worlds struggled with low user activity, empty spaces, and limited engagement. At the same time, a new priority has taken over the tech world, artificial intelligence (AI).
Meta is now focusing more on AI, which is growing rapidly and showing real-world impact, rather than continuing to pour resources into virtual worlds that haven’t taken off. The shift also suggests that VR isn’t going away but it may now be used more for gaming and practical apps, instead of building an entire digital universe.

“Elon Musk’s Space Plans Could Ruin the Night Sky,” Experts Warn!
“Elon Musk’s Space Plans Could Ruin the Night Sky,” Experts Warn!
Science
What’s Happening?
Astronomers around the world are pushing back against bold new space ideas linked to Elon Musk and his company SpaceX and they are not holding back. One proposal involves launching orbiting mirrors that would reflect sunlight back to Earth at night, essentially creating artificial “moonlight” on demand. At the same time, SpaceX has filed plans to send up to one million AI-powered satellites into orbit, designed to act like space-based data centres.
Scientists say these ideas could completely change how the night sky looks. The mirrors could make parts of the sky much brighter than usual, while thousands of satellites could be visible at once, creating streaks of light that interfere with telescopes. One astronomer even called the situation “really intolerable”, warning that it could damage our ability to study space.
Why is it Important?
This isn’t just about space, it’s about something everyone shares: the night sky. Experts say that if these projects go ahead, they could cause permanent light pollution, making it harder to see stars and planets with the naked eye. Telescopes could also lose important data because satellite trails might block their view.
There are also bigger concerns. With so many satellites being launched, space could become more crowded and risky, increasing chances of collisions and debris. Scientists are now calling for stronger global rules to manage space projects before things get out of control.

Digging for Growth: Nepal Opens Mining for 16 Resources
Digging for Growth: Nepal Opens Mining for 16 Resources
History
What’s Happening?
Nepal is digging into a big opportunity, literally! The country’s Department of Mines and Geology has granted mining permits for 16 different types of minerals, including resources like limestone, red clay, stones, and metals.
These permits allow companies to start exploring and extracting these materials from within the country. The goal? To boost local industries and make better use of Nepal’s natural resources, instead of relying heavily on imports. Around the world, countries are racing to secure natural resources for development and Nepal is now joining that trend. But with mining comes responsibility too. Experts often stress the need to balance economic growth with environmental protection.
Why is it Important?
This move could be a game-changer for Nepal’s economy. By developing its mining sector, the country aims to build stronger local industries such as construction and manufacturing, while also creating jobs and new business opportunities. At the same time, it could help reduce Nepal’s dependence on imported raw materials, making the country more self-reliant.
It also puts Nepal on the global map as a nation ready to tap into its own natural resources. If managed carefully, this step could support long-term economic growth while opening up new opportunities for development.
