The Middle East conflict escalated on July 22, triggering a surge in oil prices as the US launched fresh strikes against Iran. The move came after Tehran-backed Houthi rebels attacked oil tankers in the Red Sea.

The international oil benchmark Brent crude surged past $100 a barrel for the first time since May, up eight percent. This increase has raised concerns about world crude supplies and potential inflation.

US President Donald Trump has vowed to use frozen Iranian assets to pay for any damage to shipping. Tehran warned that this move would set an 'incendiary precedent'. The US military said it had completed its 13th night in a row of attacks on Iranian military targets, holding Iran accountable and diminishing threats from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to commercial shipping.
