How war in the Middle East could affect oil pricesCNN's Matt Egan explains how a war in the Middle East could disrupt global oil markets, particularly through the Strait of Hormuz, where a fifth of the world’s oil flows daily. A shutdown or attacks on key oil facilities, especially in Saudi Arabia, could cause oil prices to surge, driving up gasoline costs and adding pressure to economies already facing high living expenses.

Saturday’s attack on Iran was a break from decades of U.S. decision-making to hold back from a full-scale effort to depose the regime of a country of more than 90 million people. “No president was willing to do what I am willing to do tonight,” Trump told Iranians in a video address posted as U.S. bombs rained down on targets across Iran. Following the initial U.S. attack on Saturday, Iran did retaliate against Saudi Arabia. Riyadh issued a furious statement condemning the attack and calling on the international community to “take all necessary and decisive measures” to confront Iran.

AdvertisementThe grass on new lawns should reach at least 5cm high before you mow it, too.

AdvertisementBut Trump’s effort to frame his war of choice as just and worthy of international celebration is a long shot. And the war represented the second time in less than a year Washington purported to be prioritizing diplomacy with Tehran before choosing war. AdvertisementWaging a bloody, domestically unpopular and unauthorized war without a clear end, the Trump administration is unlikely to attract greater international backing. No international organization or tribunal or coalition of states, whether [the European Union] or any other entity can.”

“A conflict like this has the clear potential to unnerve international businesses operating in the Gulf,” said Michael Ratney, who served as U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia under the Biden administration. “That’s both because it can freak out their expatriate staffs, at least some of whom will want to leave, and because it calls into question the basic sense of security and stability on which they based their decision to operate and invest there.”
