Oil nears $100 level
Oil prices rose significantly amid escalating military tensions between the United States and Iran in the Gulf region, with Brent crude surpassing $97 per barrel for the first time since July due to reciprocal attacks between the two sides. The escalation follows an American attack on Larak Island and Iran's targeting of American military sites, including an oil tanker struck by drones and naval mines near the Strait of Hormuz. The ongoing tensions in this critical region, one of the most vital global oil trade routes, are expected to continue influencing oil prices and energy markets.
