🔥 Oil at $150: Strike on Iran and Trump sanctions explode prices, Europe in panic, Russia introduces Navy convoys
Oil prices in the Persian Gulf soared to $150 per barrel after the Pentagon confirmed that Israel struck the Iranian "South Pars" field in coordination with the Trump administration.
🗺 This caused shock in global markets: according to Politico, European countries are alarmed by critically low gas reserves and the risk of market collapse when trying to replenish them amid the Middle East escalation.
🇷🇺 Russia, meanwhile, continues to reap the benefits of "expensive oil," trying to conclude long-term energy supply contracts, demonstrating reliability.
Thus, presidential aide Patrushev announced the escort of merchant ships by Navy vessels and fire groups due to sabotage threats. The Kremlin does not rule out expanding measures amid Western attempts to abandon Russian energy resources.
