Oil prices are back over $100 a barrel as tensions involving Iran threaten shipping routes and energy supplies in the Middle East. Whenever oil spikes, the ripple effects hit quickly — especially at the gas pump, where those numbers seem to spin faster every week.
Meanwhile, Iran is facing criticism at home after its president apologized for attacks on neighboring countries… while those attacks were still happening. The situation highlights just how unstable the region has become, with rising tensions and governments trying to explain actions that keep escalating the conflict.

A company has introduced an AI robotic bartender designed to mix drinks, remember customer preferences, and eliminate human error behind the bar. Which sounds efficient… but it also means the robot will probably remember exactly how many drinks you’ve had.
