US-Iran Conflict and Rising Global Oil Prices
Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continue to influence global energy markets, with concerns about shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and risks to oil infrastructure adding to uncertainty.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters that reaching a peace agreement with Iran would be extremely difficult. He said economic pressure would continue until Tehran stopped targeting commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the strait would remain closed until Washington accepted Tehran’s conditions. He also said indirect discussions were continuing through Pakistan and Qatar.
According to reporting by The Wall Street Journal, oil exports from the Gulf had exceeded levels recorded before the US-Israel war on Iran, despite continued attacks on vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
International oil prices rose on Wednesday as traders assessed possible supply disruptions, risks to Red Sea shipping and threats to oil infrastructure in Saudi Arabia. Brent crude futures moved above $110 per barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude rose by more than a dollar to reach $99 per barrel.
US President Donald Trump said it was Iran’s “dream” for the conflict with the US to continue beyond the November midterm elections. He also described higher oil prices as a “very small price to pay” for preventing a nuclear weapon from reaching what he called the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.
