Video: Iran war hits home: 'Last shipment' of jet fuel nears UK


Video: Trump's taunt exposes a PM without a plan: 'Go get your own oil' line sparks questions over how Government will deal with global fuel crisis - as Keir Starmer to give update todayBritain's last known shipment of jet fuel from the Middle East is due to arrive within 48 hours amid alarm over shortages within a week. The consignment on the Libyan-flagged Maetiga vessel is expected to reach the UK from Saudi Arabia on Thursday, according to data providers Kpler and Vortexa. No other tankers bound for the UK have made it through the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has blocked in response to the US-Israeli strikes. The UK is currently sourcing at least half its jet fuel from the Middle East amid a fall in domestic refining and a halt on Russian imports since the Ukraine invasion in 2022. Keir Starmer is holding another emergency Cobra meeting today, with Brits starting to feel the impact of the turmoil in their pockets.
