UAE petrol and diesel prices for July 2025 announced: Check new rates
Petrol and diesel prices across the UAE will increase starting July 1, 2025, following a period of global oil market uncertainty and geopolitical tensions. This comes after two months of relative stability, with June prices holding steady at May's levels.
Price Breakdown: What Motorists Will Pay in July
The UAE's Fuel Price Committee announced the revised retail rates for July late this month. The new prices, effective from Monday, July 1, are as follows:
Super 98 petrol: Dh2.70 per litre
(up from Dh2.58 in June)
Special 95 petrol: Dh2.58 per litre
(up from Dh2.47 in June)
E-Plus 91 petrol: Dh2.51 per litre
(up from Dh2.39 in June)
Diesel: Dh2.63 per litre
(up from Dh2.45 in June)
These increases mark a noticeable shift after fuel prices remained unchanged in June, following a slight rise in May and two months of consecutive declines prior to that.
Global Tensions Driving Up Oil Prices
The July price hike was largely anticipated due to rising global crude prices earlier in June. Market analysts had projected an upward pressure on fuel prices after a series of geopolitical events triggered a surge in oil rates.
According to reports, the spike followed a sharp escalation in the Middle East after conflict broke out between Israel and Iran, prompting U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites. These developments heightened fears of supply disruptions in the region, causing crude oil prices to rally.
How UAE Fuel Prices Are Set
The UAE deregulated fuel prices in August 2015, linking them to global oil market trends. Since then, petrol and diesel rates are revised monthly by the UAE's Fuel Price Committee, based on fluctuations in global crude prices.
The revised prices are typically announced in the final days of each month and implemented from the 1st of the following month. This transparent pricing mechanism helps ensure that local retail rates reflect international energy market conditions, both up and down.

Iran launches Nahid-2 telecom satellite into orbit aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket
Tehran, July 25 (UNI) Iran's domestically made Nahid-2 telecommunications satellite was successfully launched into orbit today aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket, marking Tehran's second space-operation this week, reports Iran International. The launch took place from Russia's Vostochny Cosmodrome at 9:54 a.m. Tehran time, as part of a broader mission carrying two Russian Ionosfera-M satellites and 18 smaller payloads. Russian media did not publicly name Iran but said one of the CubeSats aboard was being launched 'for the benefit of a foreign customer.' Iranian outlets later confirmed it was Nahid-2. The 110-kilogram (242 lb) Iranian satellite is supposed to circle the Earth on a 500-kilometer (310-mile) orbit and has a service lifetime of two years. The launch comes four days after the IRGC launched its own Qased satellite carrier, an operation which it claimed would strengthen Tehran's space program. Observers say the timing reflects Tehran's intent to project technological resilience and strategic messaging following last month's war with Israel. While Iran maintains that its space program is not intended for weaponisation, analysts have repeatedly voiced concern over Iran's satellite launches due to their dual-use nature, stating that the same technology could be used to launch missiles, and each launch further advances Iran's ballistic missile capabilities. In November, Russia launched a pair of Iranian satellites named Kowsar and Hodhod, the first launched on behalf of the country's private sector. It followed two previous Russian launches of Iranian satellites in 2022 and 2024, highlighting the growing 'strategic partnership' between Moscow and Tehran. Simultaneously, Russian President Vladmir Putin has repeatedly offered mediation by Moscow in an effort to reach a settlement with Iran, while trying to assuage Israel's security concerns. Putin has further stressed that Russia hasn't given Iran any military assistance despite Moscow's open support for Tehran during its conflict with Jerusalem, trying to maintain good ties with Israel while further developing its economic and military ties with Iran.

First time since US struck Iran, Tehran discusses nuclear programme, but with E3 powers
Iranian and European diplomats met Friday in Istanbul in the latest drive to unpick the deadlock over Tehran's nuclear program. read more Cars, which are believed to carry European diplomats, enter the Iranian consulate ahead of a meeting with Iranian counterparts for talks over Tehran's nuclear program, in Istanbul, Turkey, Friday, July 25, 2025. (AP Photo) Iranian officials have resumed nuclear discussions with diplomats from the United Kingdom, Germany, and France, the first such engagement since Israeli strikes targeted Iran's nuclear infrastructure in June. The military action sparked a 12-day conflict, during which the United States also launched airstrikes on several of Iran's nuclear-related facilities, effectively halting ongoing nuclear negotiations between Tehran and Washington. The European trio, often referred to as the E3 has warned Tehran that sanctions could be reimposed if meaningful progress towards a renewed nuclear agreement is not achieved by the end of August. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The talks, which ended after four hours, centered on the possibility of reimposing sanctions on Iran that were lifted in 2015 in exchange for Iran accepting restrictions and monitoring of its nuclear program. The return of sanctions, known as a 'snapback' mechanism, 'remains on the table,' according to a European diplomat speaking on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the talks. Ahead of the Istanbul meeting, Iran dismissed proposals to extend the United Nations resolution underpinning the 2015 nuclear accord, which is approaching its expiration. Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said afterward that both sides had presented specific ideas on sanctions relief and the nuclear issue. 'While seriously criticising their stances regarding the recent war of aggression against our people, we explained our principled positions, including on the so-called snapback mechanism,' he said. 'It was agreed that consultations on this matter will continue." The European countries, along with China and Russia, are the remaining parties to the 2015 deal - from which the U.S. withdrew in 2018 - which lifted sanctions on Iran in return for restrictions on its nuclear programme. A deadline of Oct. 18 is fast approaching when the resolution governing that deal expires. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD At that point, all UN sanctions on Iran will be lifted unless the 'snapback' mechanism is triggered at least 30 days before. This would automatically reimpose those sanctions, which target sectors from hydrocarbons to banking and defence. To give time for this to happen, the E3 have set a deadline of the end of August to revive diplomacy. Diplomats say they want Iran to take concrete steps to convince them to extend the deadline by up to six months. It needs to happen in a way that will be empowering and deliver the long term peace and stability that Palestine needs. With inputs from agencies
