Summary
Oil prices spiked over 3% Monday as Brent hit $96.15 and WTI reached $93.48, triggered by Israel’s new strikes on Iran amid escalating regional tensions. Israel’s military confirmed targeting sites in western and central Iran after Iran launched its own attacks, reigniting a cycle of retaliation. Former President Trump urged Netanyahu to hold back, claiming he “calls all the shots” and warning escalation only prolongs conflict. Iranian state media reported damage to a petrochemical facility in Mahshahr, with casualties still unconfirmed. Despite a ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel — one Iran reportedly tied to broader peace terms — both sides remain poised for further action, casting a shadow over global markets and regional stability.
