Global oil prices moved higher again as renewed tensions between the United States and Iran injected fresh uncertainty into international energy markets.
On global exchanges, Brent crude rose above $103 per barrel, supported by reports that US forces intercepted several Iranian oil tankers in Asian waters. The developments added to market unease and reinforced concerns that instability in the Middle East could continue to disrupt supply expectations.
According to the latest trading data, crude oil gained around 1.3% to reach $94.21 per barrel, while Brent advanced roughly 1.4%, trading near $103.30 per barrel.
Pressure was also visible across the wider energy sector. In Europe, May natural gas futures on the TTF exchange in Amsterdam were trading at about €44.11 per megawatt-hour, signaling continued volatility beyond the oil market alone.
The latest price movement reflects how quickly geopolitical risk can ripple through global commodity markets, with traders closely monitoring whether the current tensions will ease or trigger further disruption.
