The ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict, now in its seventh month, is increasing the risk of oil prices rising above $120 a barrel due to intensified attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Recently, the U.S. military destroyed five Iranian crude oil tankers in response to attempted attacks on an American warship, which successfully evaded harm. This escalation has tightened the physical oil market, with Brent crude futures rising above $101 and U.S. West Texas Intermediate futures surpassing $96 per barrel. Experts warn that further conflict or threats to energy infrastructure could push prices even higher, potentially lasting through the remainder of President Trump's term.
