Oil prices surged due to escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran, with Tehran preparing a secret army. Reports indicate plans for new attacks by Trump and Israel against Iran, leading to fears of a significant increase in oil prices ahead of U.S. midterm elections. Iran threatens to retaliate fiercely, targeting not only oil facilities but also data centers and internet cables. The situation has raised concerns about a global oil supply crisis, particularly through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route. Trump has stated that the U.S. will not negotiate with Iran and that military options remain open.
