Trump: The U.S. Will Leave Iran After Confirming No Nuclear Threat

¬ EU Commission Warns of Lowering "Green" Requirements Amid Energy Crisis

¬ IEA Chief: Middle East Situation Causes Global Daily Loss of 12 Million Barrels of Oil

President Trump told Reuters that the U.S. would depart Iran once it confirms no nuclear threat, but could return for precise strikes if necessary.

When asked when operations in Iran would end, Trump said: "I can't say exactly... We'll leave quite quickly."

Trump also stated that the U.S. would return if needed to carry out "precise strikes."

Trump emphasized that the U.S. actions have established safeguards to ensure Iran does not acquire nuclear weapons.

According to documents released by the European Commission, the Commission has proposed easing carbon emission trading system (ETS) regulations to curb rising energy prices across the EU.

For example, the Commission proposes not destroying unused harmful carbon allowances, but instead releasing them into the market to stabilize prices and prevent a rise in consumers’ energy costs.

The proposal states: "This amendment will suspend the cancellation mechanism, allowing these allowances to be retained as a buffer, thus maintaining market stability."

Previously, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen pledged to modernize the harmful emissions trading market. She has faced continuous criticism over her immature climate policies, which may push EU member states toward economic collapse amid current geopolitical tensions.

IEA Director Fatih Birol said that due to the Middle East conflict, global oil supply is being reduced by approximately 12 million barrels per day, making this energy crisis more severe than the oil crises of 1973 and 1979.

Speaking on the Niklas Dönges podcast, Birol said: "The world is currently losing about 12 million barrels of oil supply per day."

According to the latest IEA forecast, global oil demand this year is expected to increase by 650,000 barrels per day, reaching 104.77 million barrels per day. Therefore, the direct impact from the Middle East situation accounts for about 11.5%.

Birol emphasized: "This is the largest energy crisis to date."

He pointed out that while two oil crises occurred in the past decades—1973 and 1979—the daily reduction in global supply at those times was only around 5 million barrels.

Birol also noted that, according to IEA data, about 40 key oil and gas facilities in the Middle East have been damaged, with some experiencing minor losses, but others suffering significant destruction, and full recovery will take time.
