Global crude oil prices have surged by two dollars per barrel amid escalating tensions between the United States and Iran over the control of the Strait of Hormuz. The price hike follows warnings from the US administration about severe retaliation against Iran if a peace deal is not finalized. While the US claims to have successfully escorted hundreds of ships and secured the movement of millions of barrels of oil through the strait, contradictory narratives from Iran continue to fuel global market volatility.
