BP Profits Soar as War Disrupts Oil Exports
BP's profits have more than doubled to $5.73 billion in the second quarter of 2026 due to rising oil and gas prices caused by the US-Israeli war on Iran.
The Gulf region's disrupted energy exports are behind the sharp increase, with BP benefiting from the higher prices.
In response, US President Donald Trump criticized major oil companies for 'making too much money' based on a shortage.
