Brent crude oil crossed the $100 per barrel threshold on Wednesday morning, according to Channel 12, as escalating tensions between Iran and the United States, and between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis, continue to drive volatility in global energy markets. The milestone comes amid a broader period of instability: The Zioneer has previously reported on oil price surges tied to Iran-US tensions, Houthi attacks on Saudi vessels, and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. In July, Brent briefly topped $100 after Houthi strikes on Saudi shipping. The current rally reflects renewed fears of supply disruptions as diplomatic channels remain strained. No further details on the specific trigger for Wednesday's jump were immediately available.
