International oil benchmarks surged above $100 per barrel for the first time since 2022, with Brent crude and West Texas Intermediate both rising more than 20% in just days.

The global energy market has entered a new era of volatility as escalating conflict in the Middle East has triggered one of the sharpest oil price surges in years. Brent crude has climbed beyond $100–$119 per barrel, its highest level since 2022, amid growing fears that the ongoing war involving Iran, Israel, and the United States could disrupt vital oil supplies from the Persian Gulf.
The sudden spike has rattled financial markets, forced governments to reconsider emergency energy policies, and prompted G7 finance ministers to hold urgent talks on whether to release strategic oil reserves to stabilize global markets.
Beyond the immediate price surge, the current crisis reveals how deeply geopolitical tensions in the Middle East remain intertwined with the stability of the global economy. The region still accounts for a large share of global energy production, and even limited disruptions can send shockwaves through markets worldwide.

The ongoing military campaign by the United States and Israel against Iran has entered a dangerous new phase, marked by sustained airstrikes on the Iranian capital, Tehran, and other major cities. Over the past days, waves of strikes have targeted oil depots, fuel storage facilities, military installations, and strategic infrastructure, triggering large fires, environmental hazards, and mounting civilian casualties.
Iranian officials say the death toll from the attacks has surpassed 1,255 people, with more than 12,000 injured, and claim that most of the victims are civilians caught in the expanding bombardment.
The escalation underscores how the conflict has moved beyond isolated military operations into a broader war with profound humanitarian, environmental, and geopolitical consequences.
