Petrolul se apropie iar de 100 de dolari pe baril după escaladarea tensiunilor din zona Ormuz

Oil prices are nearing $100 per barrel due to escalating tensions in the Hormuz region, following U.S. attacks on Iranian tankers and Iranian missile strikes on U.S. forces in Jordan. The U.S. Central Command reported the destruction of five Iranian tankers in response to previous attacks. Iran retaliated by targeting U.S. forces, launching 20 ballistic missiles, most of which were intercepted. The situation has been exacerbated by Houthi attacks on Saudi energy sites, leading to operational halts. The ongoing conflict threatens major energy infrastructure and impacts the global oil market.
