Show Notes
Oil prices surged over two percent on Tuesday, nearing the $100 mark, as Middle East tensions escalated. Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz, prompting Trump to rally allies. However, several countries, including Germany, Britain, Spain, Poland, Greece, Sweden, Australia, and Japan, distanced themselves. Attacks across the region, including drone strikes on oil fields and a fire at a major UAE site, further fueled concerns. Israel launched strikes on Tehran and Hezbollah targets, displacing over one million people in Lebanon. Iraq also experienced violence, with the death of a top commander and hits on oil infrastructure. Despite a Pakistani tanker passing through Hormuz, oil markets remain volatile amid ongoing strikes and allies reluctance to intervene.
