Oil prices surged after the US military launched strikes against Iran. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Reuters.
US oil prices jumped several percent, exceeding $80 per barrel. This is the highest level in recent months. According to experts, the increase is due to rising geopolitical risks from US military actions against Iran.
Reuters reported that US military forces struck targets in Iran. These actions could further escalate tensions in the Middle East. The oil market immediately reacted to the news, driving prices up.
The US President has not yet made an official statement, but the Pentagon said the strikes were a preventive measure. Iran has not yet officially responded.
The rise in oil prices could affect the global economy, especially regarding inflation and energy costs. Experts warn that further escalation could push oil prices even higher.
