The price of Brent crude oil has surpassed $100 per barrel for the second time this year due to escalating tensions in the Middle East. The latest developments include US claims that it destroyed five Iranian oil tankers, which Iran retaliated against by targeting American military targets and eight oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.

Additionally, pro-Iranian Houthi rebels attacked oil installations in Saudi Arabia for the second time this month. Another contributing factor is an increase in Chinese crude oil purchases.

The situation remains volatile, with ongoing tensions between Iran and the US potentially disrupting global energy supplies.
