Geopolitical Tensions Drive Surge in Global Oil Prices

Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have driven a sharp increase in global oil prices, with Brent crude rising by as much as 9% amid concerns over potential supply disruptions. The price spike comes in the wake of recent US and Israeli attacks on targets inside Iran, which have further escalated an already volatile regional situation.

According to industry experts, the attacks on Iranian assets have heightened fears of potential retaliatory actions that could impact critical oil infrastructure and shipping routes in the region. President Trump has stated that the strikes could last for weeks, adding to the sense of uncertainty and instability.
