India Eyes Two New Sites To Expand Strategic Oil Reserves

India Eyes Two New Sites To Expand Strategic Oil Reserves

By Tsvetana Paraskova of OilPrice.com

State-controlled Indian Strategic Petroleum Reserves Ltd (ISPRL) is finalizing feasibility studies for two new strategic petroleum reserves facilities as the world’s third-largest crude oil importer looks to boost its energy security.

ISPRL, a government-owned special purpose vehicle, is finalizing a feasibility study for a facility at Bikaner in the state of Rajasthan in northwestern India and has completed a pre-feasibility study for a cavern in Bina in the central state of Madhya Pradesh, Indian media reported on Thursday.

These two new facilities planned to host strategic petroleum reserves would add to the project led by India’s state-owned Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), the top explorer in the country, to build a storage site at Mangaluru to hold about 13 million barrels of oil.

In the wake of the Iran war and the disrupted crude flows at the Strait of Hormuz, India found itself in search of alternatives to replace the lost Middle Eastern supply. Record crude oil imports from Russia have helped cushion the blow, but India realized it needs additional storage sites to hold commercial and strategic reserves.

India is one of the biggest crude oil importers, but also one of the most exposed to supply shocks as its current maximum reserve capacity can cover only eight days of national oil demand.

Therefore, ONGC now plans to have a new storage site in Mangaluru in the southwestern state of Karnataka on the Arabian Sea, capable of holding 1.75 million metric tons of oil, or about 13 million barrels.

Half of this new storage capacity will be reserved for strategic storage and the other half will support ONGC’s commercial operations, the Indian Minister of State for Petroleum and Natural Gas, Suresh Gopi, told Parliament earlier this month.

Four months into the Middle East crisis, India’s government asked ONGC to build and fill a new site for strategic petroleum reserves, with an estimated investment of $1.6 billion, local outlet the Economic Times reported in June, quoting sources with knowledge of the plans.

Iran could unleash ‘kinetic’ response as US tightens economic containment, analyst warns

August 13, 2026 MMN Editor Filed Under: Uncategorized

Iran could launch military strikes as early as this fall, targeting a list of high-value assets to shatter increasing U.S. economic sanctions, national security analysts warned Thursday.The warning came as the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, or ADNOC, reported that two vessels were struck transiting the Strait of Hormuz, according to the United Arab Emirates’ state-run WAM news agency.ADNOC said there were no injuries and the situation was under control, according to Reuters, and as the UAE foreign ministry condemned the Iranian attacks.Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent also said Thursday that Washington was preparing to take unprecedented economic action against Iran.”Watch this ⁠space for more announcements ​coming next week because we ​are going to apply measures like have never been seen in ​the history of economic ​isolation on a country,” Bessent said in ‌an ⁠interview on Newsmax.Behnam Ben Taleblu, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told Fox News Digital that Tehran is likely to step up military pressure as Washington intensifies sanctions.”Come early fall, what we can expect is for them to kinetically push back against Trump’s economic policy,” Taleblu said. “If the president is re-embracing economic pressure as a management approach, just like we saw in 2019, then the regime will use kinetic pressure to try to find a way to break out of that economic containment.”Ben Taleblu said shrinking oil revenues and the U.S. naval blockade could also drive Tehran to expand its target list across the region.”This means they would embrace the kinetic tool, and that’s how they would get out of the economic containment regime that the U.S. seems to be defaulting to want to put on them,” Taleblu added. “I would say more attacks on ships, potentially more attacks on U.S. bases, potentially more attacks on Arab infrastructure in the Persian Gulf, and certainly the regime would create a tiered list of targets of what is of immediate value versus what has greater economic value versus what might lead to the U.S. directly or indirectly responding.”The warnings come amid a deadlock in talks between Washington and Tehran.So far, there have been no discussions about extending the U.S.-Iran ceasefire agreement, a senior Iranian source told Reuters Aug. 12.Tehran has insisted Washington return to the pact and set a definitive timeline to meet its obligations.The interim memorandum of understanding, signed in June, called for the “immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts.”The agreement later unraveled, with Trump declaring on July 7 that the pact was “over.”Under the framework, both sides had an extendable 60-day window to negotiate a final agreement addressing key security concerns, including Iran’s nuclear program.That deadline expires Aug. 17, with control of the Strait of Hormuz remaining a major sticking point.Hossein Taeb, the newly appointed head of Iran’s Basij paramilitary force, said Thursday that the Strait of Hormuz remains “under Iran’s control and management.”His comments conflicted with Trump’s assertion a day earlier that the U.S. held “total control” over the vital waterway.”The regime is relying on tried and true tactics here, which is, you know, a knife in the back and a handshake in the front to many of America’s traditional Gulf partners,” Taleblu said. “It looks like Iranian escalation, Iranian diplomatic pressure, Iranian diplomatic finesse is trying to back the Trump administration into the MOU again.””The regime definitely does not want to grant the Trump administration the optics of victory, and to that end, they’re quite keen to hold on to the Strait of Hormuz,” he added.Taleblu said Trump has described the sanctions-driven strategy as a “low-key” approach.”These are high-impact tools,” he concluded. “I think part of the escalation that we saw in the summer of 2019 — part of that past could be a prologue.”

Rams star Puka Nacua left bloodied in bizarre accident at Michael Rubin’s star-studded White Party

August 13, 2026 MMN Editor Filed Under: Uncategorized

Puka Nacua’s turbulent offseason keeps finding new ways to hit him — this time, literally.The latest bizarre story to emerge from the Los Angeles Rams star’s summer involves a spotless window at Michael Rubin’s “White Party” — and, by Nacua’s own admission, the window won.During an appearance on Logan Paul’s “Impaulsive” podcast, Nacua revealed that he was left bleeding from the face after walking directly into a glass pane at the Fanatics founder’s annual celebrity bash in the Hamptons.STEFON DIGGS FOUND NOT GUILTY ON STRANGULATION AND ASSAULT CHARGES, NOW EYES NFL FREE AGENCYWhile speaking with Olympic gymnast Suni Lee, Nacua spotted Snoop Dogg and turned to find Rams teammate Davante Adams. He never saw the nearly invisible pane standing in his way.”Uh, the glass window pane won,” Nacua said. And Nacua apparently wasn’t the only victim of Rubin’s spotless glass.”They made me feel better when they said three other people ran into it,” Nacua said. “But nobody else ended up bleeding from it. So I don’t know if that made me feel much better or worse.”A run-in with Rubin’s glass is hardly the only headache Nacua has dealt with this offseason. The Rams star is facing a civil lawsuit stemming from a New Year’s Eve incident in which a woman alleges he bit her shoulder and made an antisemitic remark. Nacua’s attorney strongly denies the antisemitic allegation and characterized the biting as “horseplay.” The lawsuit followed another controversy involving Nacua, who apologized in December after performing a gesture tied to antisemitic stereotypes during a livestream. He later spent time at a holistic care facility focused on personal growth.Even his family made headlines.RAMS’ SEAN MCVAY AND HIS MODEL WIFE PUT THE REST OF THE NFL ON NOTICE WITH NOTHING BUT SWIMSUITS ONNacua’s brother, Samson, was arrested after mistakenly taking an SUV he believed belonged to Puka. Investigators determined it was a mix-up, and Samson was not charged.Nacua’s offseason could still follow him onto the field, with the NFL reportedly reviewing his conduct and a suspension considered possible. Meanwhile, Nacua gave the Rams a more conventional scare this week when he left Tuesday’s joint practice with the Dallas Cowboys early with groin soreness. He sat out Thursday as Los Angeles took a cautious approach with its All-Pro receiver.”We’re just being smart with him,” Rams coach Sean McVay said. “Expecting to be back next week, ready to go.”The Rams have every reason to be cautious. Nacua is entering the final season of his rookie contract after leading the NFL with 129 receptions and finishing second with 1,715 receiving yards last season.McVay and the Rams can manage his practice workload and game-plan for double teams. Billionaire-grade window cleaning is apparently another problem entirely.Send us your thoughts: alejandro.avila@outkick.com / Follow along on X: @alejandroaveela

Gun rights groups capitalize after judge reverses decades-old restrictions: ‘Monumental’

August 13, 2026 MMN Editor Filed Under: Uncategorized

Gun-rights advocates are wasting little time putting a “huge” federal court victory into action after a judge struck down decades-old firearms restrictions as unconstitutional.Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Silencer Shop, a federal firearms licensee covered by the ruling linked to the sale and transfer of silencers, notified the Trump administration that they planned to begin transferring firearm silencers Thursday without going through the National Firearms Act registration and approval process that has governed such transactions for decades.Just after midnight Thursday, two gun owners walked out of a Texas firearms dealer with silencers without first completing the federal registration and approval process that has governed such transfers for generations, according to Gun Owners of America. GOA said Brandon Herrera and Texas state Rep. Wes Virdell acquired the suppressors from Silencer Shop in Leander, Texas, in what the gun-rights group called the first lawful transfers without National Firearms Act registration since the law was enacted in 1934.”This is the first time in 92 years that any gun owner has been able to do this,” Aidan Johnston, Gun Owners of America’s director of federal affairs, told Fox News Digital in an interview. “Previously, this would have been punishable by up to 10 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine per violation. So, this was a big federal law. We took a really big bite out of it.”INSIDE TRUMP’S UNPRECEDENTED BATTLE PLAN TO EXPAND SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS THROUGH JUSTICE DEPARTMENTRep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., who attended the midnight transfers and helped write the legislation that set the stage for the ruling, called it “literally, the greatest Second Amendment win in the history of our country,” adding that it marked “a monumental day for the country and a monumental day for the Second Amendment.”The ruling also appears poised to stand without a challenge from the federal government. Clyde said Wednesday that he had received confirmation from the Trump administration that the Justice Department would not appeal the decision.”GOA fought to crush the NFA’s unconstitutional restrictions through the One Big Beautiful Bill, but we didn’t stop there. We promised to keep fighting until these restrictions were gone, and now our members are putting the historic victory into action,” said Erich Pratt, Senior Vice President of Gun Owners of America. “The era of federal registration for constitutionally protected arms must end.”CLARENCE THOMAS’ CONSTITUTIONAL ARGUMENT AGAINST FEDERAL GUN LAW GETS FIRST MAJOR COURT TESTThe legal fight traces back to Republicans’ 2025 reconciliation package, which initially included broader efforts to roll back National Firearms Act restrictions on suppressors and short-barreled firearms. After the Senate parliamentarian blocked portions of the deregulation push under reconciliation rules, the final One Big Beautiful Bill Act signed by President Donald Trump instead reduced the NFA’s longstanding making and transfer taxes to $0 for suppressors, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns and certain other weapons, effective Jan. 1, 2026.Gun-rights groups seized on that change almost immediately. The same day Trump signed the law, Gun Owners of America, the Silencer Shop Foundation and other plaintiffs sued the federal government, arguing that the NFA’s registration and approval requirements could no longer constitutionally stand for weapons on which Congress had eliminated the underlying tax. Fifteen states later joined the challenge. The Justice Department countered that the remaining regulations could still be supported by other NFA taxes and Congress’ authority over interstate commerce.”Congress didn’t fully repeal the law. They just reduced this 1934 tax from $200 to $0,” Johnston told Fox News Digital. “And I think all of us could understand there’s no such thing as a $0 tax. It doesn’t raise any revenue. It’s not a tax.”U.S. District Judge James Wesley Hendrix, a Trump appointee, sided with the challengers Aug. 5, ruling that once Congress eliminated the making and transfer taxes, the regulations that had existed to help collect those taxes lost their constitutional footing. Hendrix permanently blocked federal officials from enforcing the challenged requirements against the plaintiffs and, where applicable, their members and customers, while declining to issue a nationwide injunction. However, while the plaintiffs had separately argued that the NFA’s registration and approval requirements violated the Second Amendment, Hendrix said that “Efforts to render the NFA constitutional must come from Congress, not this Court.”

I love my work and my ambition, but when I’m older, I’d rather be the grandmother with stories to tell than wonder if I hustled more than I lived.”LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING?

Like, what? Is that really a thing?” Hough told People magazine in May.More than two decades after its debut, Hough said the show’s ability to remain true to its roots has helped it endure.”To see that it’s been around not only just, like, survived 20 years, but is now thriving more than it ever has, it just goes to show that, like, when you stay in authenticity and integrity of what this show is — which is craftsmanship, just rooting for people to grow and succeed, and go on the journey of transformation, and keep that family experience — that’s timeless,” she told the outlet.

Federal appeals court restores Texas mail ballot ID requirements in major election integrity ruling

August 13, 2026 MMN Editor Filed Under: Uncategorized

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals restored key parts of Texas’ election law Wednesday, handing the state a major win after repeatedly reversing the lower court during a five-year legal fight.The 11-page ruling overturned a lower court decision that blocked nine parts of Senate Bill 1, a 2021 law that changed Texas’ rules for mail-in voting and voter assistance.The appeals court pointed to its repeated reversals in the case, noting that it has “reversed the district court on everything” during roughly five years of litigation.JUDGE HANDS TRUMP MAIL-BALLOT WIN FOR NOW AS DEMOCRATS’ NEXT MOVE LOOMS”The bulk of the plaintiffs’ claims fail for lack of standing. One fails on the merits. But none justifies interference with the State Legislature’s efforts to prevent voter fraud and to protect election integrity,” Judge Andrew Oldham wrote in the opinion.The restored rules include requirements for Texans voting by mail to provide an identification number or Social Security number on ballot applications and for that information to match state records. The law also lays out a process for voters to fix defective ballots and requires voters and people helping them fill out ballots to sign an oath stating they did not coerce the voter.A district judge blocked the rules in March 2025 after several lawsuits challenging the law over accessibility concerns were combined. The plaintiffs argued the requirements made voting too difficult for some voters with disabilities and violated the Americans with Disabilities Act.Texas allows several groups to vote by mail, including voters who are 65 or older and those who qualify because of a disability.MAGA TRIUMPH: TRUMP ALLY KEN PAXTON DEFEATS JOHN CORNYN IN BITTER TEXAS GOP PRIMARY WARThe appeals court found the groups did not have legal standing to bring most of their challenges and rejected another challenge outright.Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a defendant in the lawsuit, celebrated the ruling on social media, calling it a “major victory.”Fox News Digital reached out to attorneys and organizations representing the plaintiffs for comment.Texas lawmakers passed Senate Bill 1 in 2021 after a contentious fight over election rules. The law targeted in part voting initiatives Harris County used during the COVID-19 pandemic. Democratic lawmakers, civil rights organizations and voting advocacy groups opposed the measure, and Texas House Democrats broke quorum in an unsuccessful attempt to stop it.The appeals court also noted that the share of mail-in ballot applications or ballots rejected because of identification-number errors fell from 11% to 2.7% after the law took effect.

David Foster denies snubbing Meghan Markle after red carpet interaction with Prince Harry

August 13, 2026 MMN Editor Filed Under: Uncategorized

David Foster is speaking out after a red carpet video at a charity event went viral – and sparked speculation from some that he had snubbed Meghan Markle. On Aug. 7, the legendary music producer hosted the David Foster and Friends foundation event with Markle and Prince Harry in attendance.The video on social media showed Foster walking past Markle – as she appeared to greet him – and Prince Harry before returning a moment later with his wife, Katharine McPhee, and posing for a photo with the royal couple.”As the host of the David Foster and Friends foundation event, I had already greeted our friends, the Duke and Duchess, at the entrance 10 minutes before the red carpet encounter,” Foster said in a statement to People. MEGHAN MARKLE’S ROYAL EXIT HAD WARNING SIGNS YEARS EARLIER, VETERAN CORRESPONDENT REVEALS”They both, graciously and selflessly, gave their time and went beyond to engage with everyone.

Their connection was renewed years later, and Foster and McPhee became close with Markle and Prince Harry as a couple.Foster also played a supportive role during an important transition in Markle and Harry’s lives. In late 2019, he helped arrange a private home for the couple on Vancouver Island, giving them a quiet place to stay as they prepared to step back from their roles as senior members of the royal family in 2020.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERAt the time, Foster told the Daily Mail that he was happy the couple could “go under the radar for so long” while staying at his home.”I felt honored that I was able to help Meghan there because I’m a Canadian, and we’re a Commonwealth country; we’re the Crown’s. It’s important to us, so I grew up with that kind of sentiment. I was really happy to be able to help them to find a respite just to take a little time off,” he previously told the outlet.

Radical Kansas Dem Gubernatorial Nominee Sparks Fury After Her Very Sacrilegious Post About Jesus Christ Resurfaces

The Kansas Democratic Gubernatorial nominee is under fire after a disgusting and extremely sacrilegious post she made about Jesus Christ resurfaced this week.
As The Washington Examiner reported on Wednesday, State Senator Cindy Holscher had an exchange she had with a right-leaning user on X. In it, she criticized Senate Bill 149, legislation introduced that year that sought to restrict drag performances accessible to minors.
The argument occurred back on March 7, 2023.
At one point during the exchange, Holscher outlandishly suggested that Jesus Christ, who Christians regard as the Son of God, could have been either gay or transgender.
“I have no idea if Jesus was trans, gay, straight, etc.” Holscher wrote.
“But you seem to imply that a sacred figure is ‘less than’ if they aren’t straight. That’s too bad,” Holscher added.
She then demanded that the user provide “proof that schools are grooming children,” she added.

Suggesting that Jesus Christ could have been transgender is not only a true slap in the face and mockery of the Christian faith, It’s also the dumbest possible statement because 70% of the Kansas adults identify with the Christian faith.
A candidate obviously cannot win a conservative state like Kansas if they mock Christianity.
Social media users responded with disgust after learning what Holscher said.

The left never have any issue mocking Christianity but they sure do love to protect their Islamists. https://t.co/ZY8wkyFo0C

Holscher’s Republican opponent, Ty Masterson, also issued a scathing response to her remark about Christ in a social media post.
“If anyone needs proof that Cindy Holscher is a radical, here it is,” Masterson wrote on X. “She mocked Jesus Christ to defend drag shows for kids, and she’s so out of touch, that she doesn’t understand why most Kansans find that offensive.”
“That’s not your parents’ Democrat, that’s the most radical liberal nominee in Kansas history,” he added. “This November, the choice could not be clearer for Kansans.”
