World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reportedjust now
Crude oil prices have risen globally, trading near USD 100 per barrel on Monday to reach their highest level since July 23. The market activity occurs against the backdrop of an ongoing US holiday and escalating military conflict in the Middle East involving Iran and the United States.
Tensions have intensified following mutual retaliatory attacks, including US bombings of Iranian oil tankers and subsequent Iranian attacks on US warships. A senior Iranian official warned on Sunday of faster and more intense responses to US offensives.
Additionally, Iran announced plans to establish a new restricted zone near the Strait of Ormuz, a move expected to impact regional trade.
