US Strikes Iran Amid Oil Price Surge
US President Donald Trump has announced that the United States will hold Iran responsible for attacks on Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea, which have sent oil prices skyrocketing. The US House of Representatives narrowly passed a resolution to halt US military action in Iran, sending a warning to President Trump as the conflict's future remains uncertain and has already cost the US $37.5 billion.
The attacks on Saudi oil tankers, blamed on Houthi rebels, have sparked concerns about global energy supplies and sent oil prices soaring. Oil prices rose after the news, but exact figures are not provided in the source.
Trump also set a new condition to a US-Saudi nuclear deal, insisting that the agreement is 'totally subject to' Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords and normalising relations with Israel.
