The Surge in Oil Prices Amid Middle East Conflict_ Part 1

Oil prices have taken a sharp turn upward recently, with Brent crude prices surging by 13%, now hitting $82.37 per barrel—the highest they’ve been since January 2025. This sudden increase is primarily fueled by rising tensions in the Middle East, particularly involving the United States, Israel, and Iran.
The geopolitical climate began to worsen with military strikes initiated by the U.S. and Israel on Iranian targets. This has led to fierce retaliatory actions, creating instability that echoes through global markets. There’s also significant anxiety stemming from attacks on oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial waterway that carries about 20% of the world’s oil supply. These developments have raised fears of possible blockades that could further disrupt oil flows, adding to the urgency of the situation.
