US-Israel-Iran War Live News: Brent Crude Oil Price Crosses $99 as US-Iran Conflict Widens
Brent crude has moved above the $90-a-barrel level as the US-Iran conflict continues without a clear diplomatic resolution. Oil prices have risen for three consecutive sessions, with the Strait of Hormuz remaining a key concern for global energy markets.
Markets are watching whether the conflict creates a longer disruption to oil shipments. Any sustained restrictions around the Strait of Hormuz could push crude prices significantly higher.
US-Israel-Iran War Live News: Why is Oil Price Rising?
Oil prices are rising mainly because investors fear further disruption to Middle East energy supplies. The US and Iran have failed to secure a clear path towards a broader settlement, while shipping through the Strait of Hormuz remains under pressure.
The uncertainty has encouraged traders to price in a higher risk premium for crude. Higher oil prices also create fresh inflation risks for major importers such as India.

Rising crude prices are putting additional pressure on the Indian rupee. India imports a large share of its crude requirements, so a sustained increase in oil prices can raise the country’s import bill and increase demand for US dollars.
The rupee has already faced pressure as geopolitical uncertainty and higher US yields weigh on sentiment. A prolonged period of expensive crude could also affect inflation, corporate costs and the broader outlook for Indian equities.
