Iran's Missile Strikes Send Oil Prices Soaring Amid Escalating Middle East Tensions
A series of missile attacks by Iran on US forces in the Middle East has sent oil prices surging, reaching $84.58 a barrel for Brent crude.
The escalation comes after several days of relative calm and has raised concerns about a return to all-out war in the region.
The US partnered with Saudi Arabia to strike Tehran-backed militias in Iraq, killing at least 20 fighters and six Iranian advisers.
