Effect on crude oil prices

Let us tell you that on Tuesday, Iran launched new attacks on Israel and Gulf countries as part of its policy of creating pressure.

However, later the price softened a bit and even on Tuesday it was at about $ 90 per barrel, which is about 24 percent more than when the war started on February 28.
