Iran War Risks $200 Oil Threatening Global Economy
Escalating strikes on Iran’s energy infrastructure by the United States and Israel have prompted a stark warning from Tehran regarding potential global oil price surges, with predictions of crude exceeding $200 per barrel. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps spokesperson stated that continued “cowardly and inhumane actions” could lead to retaliation, potentially impacting energy infrastructure across the region and even targeting US-linked facilities. These warnings coincide with heightened energy market volatility, as Brent crude has already risen sharply to approximately $119 per barrel amid fears of supply disruptions and a wider regional conflict.
