Vietnam runs out of jet fuel as China and Thailand have halted exports. Vietnam has also asked for South Korea and Japa

There may be other countries this has or will soon happen to.



Vietnam runs out of jet fuel as China and Thailand have halted exports.

Vietnam has also asked for South Korea and Japan to borrow oil from their strategic reserves. Neither country has agreed as of now.

A survey by the Israel Democracy Institute taken on the war’s third and fourth day found that 82 percent of Israelis overall, including 93% of Jewish Israelis, support the US-Israeli operation against Iran. In the IDI’s second survey, taken a week or so later, the numbers were 81% and 92.5%, respectively. In both polls, about a quarter of Arab Israelis conveyed support.

Surveys by the Institute for National Security Studies likewise show overall support holding firm. Its first poll, released on March 3, found that 81% of Israelis backed the operation. In a second poll released on Tuesday, the number was 78.5%.

The latest IDI survey found that 79% of Jews feel somewhat or very protected from Iran’s attacks. Among Arabs, the number was 15%.

Something else that sets this war apart from some others Israelis have fought since October 7, 2023, is that in the case of Iran, most Israelis appear to trust the government led by Netanyahu, who has dedicated his career to warning of the threats posed by Iran.
