What happened

Well supportedReported by 9 independent outlets

The Group of Seven nations agreed to release 100 million barrels of diesel and crude oil from emergency reserves over four months. This coordinated plan, managed through the International Energy Agency, is a response to surging fuel prices linked to the Iran war. The release is set to begin immediately, with a substantial diesel release planned within 20 days.
