Prețul petrolului se apropie de 100 de dolari, după ce armata americană a atacat petroliere iraniene, iar rebelii Houthi au lovit infrastructura energetică a Arabiei Saudite

Oil prices have surged close to $100 per barrel following U.S. attacks on Iranian tankers and Houthi strikes on Saudi energy infrastructure. The U.S. military destroyed five Iranian tankers as retaliation for recent missile attacks on an American warship. This escalation has raised concerns about global economic impacts, as rising energy costs could exacerbate inflation. Brent crude rose by 2.4% to $99.34 per barrel, with further increases noted in early Asian trading. The situation has deteriorated since late August, ending a period of relative calm after a June agreement between the U.S. and Iran. CENTCOM reported that the attacked vessels were linked to financing the IRGC and its allies, and Iran has retaliated with missile strikes on a U.S. base in Jordan.
