Europe Agrees to Release Diesel Reserves After Trump Pressure
🛢️ RESERVES — Europe blinked. Now it burns the buffer it can't refill. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Trump's export ban threat worked.

Tehran watches Europe exhaust its buffer, reducing the economic pain that might force a deal. Every barrel released now is one less tool for winter.
