Trump Warns Iran as Oil Prices Surge Past $95

President Donald Trump has threatened direct strikes against Iranian infrastructure should Tehran target vessels in critical maritime corridors. This warning arrives as regional volatility forces oil tankers to bypass the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a vital artery for global energy supplies already strained by Houthi-led maritime aggression.

The mounting friction has pushed Brent crude prices beyond the $95-a-barrel threshold, stoking fears of renewed inflationary pressure and broader supply chain instability. With tankers rerouting to avoid hostile waters, the logistical burden on global markets is intensifying, turning the region into an epicenter of economic uncertainty.

Diplomatic channels are pushing for a 10-day truce to de-escalate the standoff, yet these efforts face steep resistance from entrenched military postures. Both Washington and Tehran remain locked in a zero-sum contest for strategic dominance, leaving little room for a swift resolution to the underlying disputes over maritime control.
