Oil prices stay high amid US pressures on Tehran
Global oil prices rose today, Thursday, August 20, 2026, maintaining gains that have lasted for four consecutive sessions. This comes amid the escalating economic pressures from the US administration on Iran through new measures aimed at isolating the Iranian economy. Washington confirmed that the sanctions will include economic consequences for any entity supporting Iran. Meanwhile, Brent crude hovered around $92 per barrel, and West Texas Intermediate around $84, supported by American data showing higher refinery operating rates and a decrease in distillate inventories, which helped boost the market despite declines in some contracts.
