2026-07-23 08:57:53 US President Donald Trump threatened to bomb Iranian infrastructure in response to any attacks on vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz, raising market concerns over a further escalation in conflict and potential disruptions to crude oil supply. Oil prices ascended on Thursday (23rd). Brent oil futures for September delivery gained 2% to USD95.99 per barrel. US West Texas Intermediate oil futures rose about 1.7% to USD88.27 per barrel. Trump said on Wednesday (22nd) that from now on, if the Islamic Republic of Iran fires missiles, rockets, drones or any other devices or weapons at ships in the Strait of Hormuz, the US will bomb and destroy a bridge or a power plant. Iran responded that if Washington carried out such attacks, Iran would retaliate against infrastructure and energy assets in the region linked to the US. ~ AASTOCKS Financial News Website: www.aastocks.com | |
