In response to the critical increase in geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, caused by Israel's strike on Tehran, OPEC+ is conducting urgent consultations. The main topic is the possibility of a sharp increase in oil production in the near future. This step is seen as a necessary measure to stabilize the global energy market, which immediately reacted to the escalation with fears of supply disruptions. Analysts note that the attack directly threatens key infrastructure and shipping in the region, which accounts for a significant portion of global exports.

Forecasts for oil prices remain extremely volatile. In the absence of decisive action from OPEC+, experts do not rule out a price spike to $110–$120 per barrel of Brent in the coming weeks. However, if the cartel quickly engages significant spare capacity, prices could stabilize in the range of $85–$95. The market is in wait-and-see mode, assessing the willingness of OPEC+ member countries, particularly Saudi Arabia and the UAE, to take such a step, considering the complexity of domestic political agreements and the threat to Tehran itself. Cooperation demonstrates OPEC+'s commitment to the resilience of the oil market.
