## Resource

Gas prices just hit their highest point since 2022, and the Iran war is showing no real signs of slowing down. In the middle of all of it, one of OPEC's longest-standing members just walked out the door after six decades, and analysts think Saudi Arabia is not going to take it quietly. The ripple effects of that exit could reshape global oil supply in ways that matter to anyone who has filled up a tank lately. But the story behind why the UAE left, and what it signals about where energy markets are actually heading, is more complicated than it first appears.
