Oil prices climb as US strikes Iran for 11th night

Oil prices have inched up in early trading as concerns over potential supply shocks grow amid the continued US attacks on Iran.

Brent crude futures rose by 0.55 percent, or 50 cents, to $91.51 per barrel after trading opened today, according to Reuters, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude gained 0.36 percent, or 30 cents, to $84.64 amid light trading volumes.

 US Central Command (CENTCOM) says it has completed its 11th consecutive evening of air strikes against Iran to further degrade the country’s “ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz”.

In a statement, CENTCOM said that US forces targeted “Iranian military operations centres, maritime capabilities, aircraft hangars, drone storage facilities, and military logistics infrastructure”.

  8. Ghalibaf via X:
    The equation of this war is clear: either all or none! In a region where we do not sell oil, no one will sell oil. If our security is not ensured, no infrastructure will be safe, and the security of the strait is in the absence of American forces. We have repeatedly said that the situation of the strait will not return to pre-war conditions.
