Oil prices fell sharply, with Brent crude down 3% to $89.40 and WTI crude down 3.2% to $82.32 per barrel, as investors ignored supply concerns amid escalating US-Iran tensions. The US launched new sanctions on Iran, calling it an "economic D-Day," while Iran vowed to withstand the pressure with a two-year plan. China, a major Iranian trading partner, opposed the sanctions and pledged to protect its interests, complicating US efforts. The situation remains tense but without immediate military escalation, keeping markets cautious about future oil supply risks.
