Oil Prices Soar Amid Iran War, BP and Saudi Aramco Reap Massive Profits
The Iran war has led to soaring oil prices, causing profits for global giants like BP and Saudi Aramco to skyrocket.
BP reported a net profit after tax of $3.91 billion in the second quarter, more than double its earnings from the same period last year.
Saudi Aramco posted a 44% increase in net income to $32.7 billion, topping analyst forecasts.
The companies attributed their gains to disruptions in global fossil fuel supplies caused by the war.
