This is Very Bad - Joe Blogs

Oil prices are surging, food costs are rising, and the global economy is starting to feel the impact of the war in Iran.

In this video, I break down the latest developments as Brent crude pushes above $114 per barrel — up from around $60 at the start of 2026 — and explain why this is not just a short-term spike, but a growing economic threat.

The conflict has now entered its third month, with no signs of de-escalation. The US naval blockade remains in place, Iran is hardening its stance, and reports suggest the Revolutionary Guards are taking greater control — reducing the chances of a quick resolution.

At the same time, the UAE has announced it is leaving OPEC, raising serious concerns about the group’s ability to stabilize global oil markets.

But the real story is how this is now feeding through into the global economy:

– Oil prices rising rapidly
– Food prices hitting their highest levels since 2023
– Airlines and airports warning of disruption
– European leaders warning of long-term damage
– UK companies already showing signs of financial distress

This is how a geopolitical crisis turns into an economic slowdown — and potentially a recession.

In this video, I explain what’s happening, why it matters, and what could come next.

If oil prices remain elevated or continue rising, the consequences could be severe — particularly for oil-importing countries.

This is not just bad. This is VERY BAD.
