Oil prices surged on Tuesday as tensions in the Middle East continued to rise. Brent crude topped $90 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) advanced to its highest level since July 31.

The uncertainty surrounding the conflict has added another layer of risk for global energy markets, particularly because the Strait of Hormuz is a crucial route for international oil shipments.

Iran's decision to adopt a more aggressive military stance and the US ruling out extending the temporary ceasefire have increased concerns about potential disruptions to oil supplies and shipping through the strategically important waterway.
