Brent tops $90 as US-Iran strikes intensify and Hormuz tension grows
TL;DR Summary
The US launched a ninth night of strikes on Iran after another American service member was killed in a drone-related incident in northern Iraq, while Brent crude rose to about $90 a barrel amid escalating tensions around the Strait of Hormuz. Iran claimed attacks on US targets and Syria, Bahrain warned of spillover, and Israel warned of retaliation; the US reinforced support to allies and reimposed a naval blockade on Iranian ports to curb oil shipments, as diplomacy stalls and Tehran suspends parts of the interim deal.
