BP Soars as War on Iran Drives Oil Prices to Record High
BP's profits have skyrocketed to a record high of $5.73bn in the second quarter of 2026, as the ongoing US-Israeli war on Iran disrupts energy exports in the Gulf.
The company's profits more than doubled due to rising oil and gas prices caused by the conflict.
US President Donald Trump criticized major oil companies for 'making too much money' from high prices, stating, 'I don't like it. They're making too much money, okay? Based on a shortage, they're making too much money.'
