Oil market shrugs off fears of wider war after Iranian strike on Israel: Price of Brent crude flat but experts warn of volatility in event of Israeli retaliation

ft.com/content/3bbeb6b5-b9b6-4474-a858-cc8a23c448ba

Quick Glance: Oil Prices Could Witness a 'Super Spike Well Above $100' Post Iran's Strike on Israel

Market analysts predicted that oil prices could surge to $100 per barrel and beyond after Iran conducted an aerial attack on Israel, reigniting concerns of a regional war.

Iran carried out an aerial attack on Israel on Saturday night, launching over 300 drones and missiles, marking the first direct military attack by Iran on the Jewish state.

Insufficient investment renders the supply more fragile, raising the likelihood of a 'super spike well above $100' if the supply is disrupted.

Recent months have seen oil prices rise due to trade disruptions and delays caused by maritime attacks in the Red Sea by the Houthis, who express solidarity with the Palestinian people.

Quick Glance: Israel artist calls for Gaza ceasefire

The representative of Israel at the international art fair is calling for an immediate ceasefire in Israel’s war on Gaza.

Ruth Patir’s video installation called (M)otherland was scheduled to open on Saturday at Israel’s national pavilion at the international art show but will remain closed for now.

Patir stated on her website that the artist and curators are showing solidarity with the families of the hostages and the large community in Israel calling for change, rather than canceling themselves or the exhibition.

It is believed that there are still individuals in Gaza, including 129 captives taken during the attacks led by Hamas on Israel on October 7, with 34 of them presumed dead.

Russian strike kills at least 14 as Ukraine’s air defenses struggle again to protect cities

Quick Glance: Russia Strikes Chernihiv: 18 Dead, Ukraine Appeals for Air Defense

At least 18 people were killed and over 60 wounded in Chernihiv due to Russian missile strikes. Ukrainian officials emphasized that the attack could have been prevented with adequate air defense systems.

Russia launched three Iskander cruise missiles at the city, located near the Russian border and previously encircled by Russian troops.

Ukraine currently has three Patriot air defense systems but requires 26 for full coverage. Following appeals for more systems, Germany pledged to send an additional one.

A $60 billion aid package for Ukraine is stalled in the US Congress, allowing Russia to exploit ammunition and air defense shortages and gain ground in the east.

The United States imposed new sanctions Thursday on sixteen people and two entities associated with Iran’s drone program to punish Tehran for the weekend's attack on Israel.

The sanctions target executives of an engine manufacturer supplying Iran’s Shahad-131 drones, companies servicing the engines, and individuals providing the drones to Iranian proxy forces in the Middle East.

Coordinated with European allies, the new sanctions aim to disrupt Iran's missile and drone program and isolate the country globally.

Quick Glance: Iran's Oil Exports Thrive Amid Rising Tensions

Iran is exporting more oil than in the past six years, providing the economy with a $35 billion annual boost, as western countries consider tightening sanctions in response to the attack on Israel.

The US and the EU are preparing new sanctions on the Islamic republic to deter conflict escalation with Israel, facing challenges due to Iran's successful circumvention of sanctions, especially with China being its primary customer.

Iran has found ways to bypass sanctions, shielded from western pressure as its main oil exports go to China. Tensions have escalated since the Hamas attack on Israel, driving oil prices up by over 15%, while US efforts to sanction individual tankers carrying Iranian oil have had minimal impact so far.

Mounting Republican pressure urges the Biden administration to take tougher action on Iran's oil sales, with criticism over perceived leniency on existing measures. Despite US strategic oil reserves being released to stabilize prices, concerns remain over the administration's stance on enforcing sanctions similar to the previous Trump administration.

Israel launched an attack on Iranian soil on Friday, sources said, in the latest tit-for-tat exchange between the two arch foes, potentially escalating the conflict in the region.

The United States received notification before Israel's attack, which came after Iran's strike on Israel. Global powers urged Israel to limit any further retaliation to prevent a broader escalation.

A senior Iranian official cast doubt on whether Israel was responsible. Official comments and news reports did not mention Israel, and state TV downplayed the incident.

The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed no damage to Iran's nuclear sites in Israel's alleged attack. Iran maintains its nuclear work is peaceful, while the West believes it aims to build a weapon.

US actively preparing for significant regional attack by Iran that could come within the next week

cnn.com/2024/04/05/politics/us-israel-iran-retaliation-strike/

Quick Glance: US Alerted to Impending Iranian Attack

The US is actively on high alert and preparing for a potential "significant" attack by Iran targeting Israeli or American assets in the region as a response to Monday's Israeli strike in Damascus that killed high-ranking Iranian commanders. Senior US officials currently believe that an attack by Iran is "inevitable" - a sentiment also shared by their Israeli counterparts. Both governments are working diligently to prepare for the anticipated Iranian attack, acknowledging the various possible methods through which the attack could unfold and the potential risks to US and Israeli assets and personnel.

A looming Iranian attack was a focal point of discussion during a phone call between President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday. At that moment, the two governments were uncertain about the timing and nature of Iran's retaliation. A direct Iranian strike on Israel is a scenario that the Biden administration is particularly concerned about, as it would lead to a swift escalation of an already volatile situation in the Middle East. Iran had vowed vengeance following Israel's airstrike on the Iranian embassy complex in Syria, resulting in the deaths of at least seven officials.

The US promptly informed Iran that the Biden administration was not involved in and had no prior knowledge of the embassy attack, cautioning against targeting American assets. The US considers its own embassies and consulates abroad, as well as foreign embassies and consulates in the US, to be under special protection.

On Tuesday, the Pentagon's Deputy Press Secretary, Sabrina Singh, stated that the US assessment pointed to Israel as the perpetrator of the airstrike. Israel has escalated its military operations against Iran and its regional allies following the October 7 attack on Israel by the Tehran-backed Hamas group. Subsequent warfare in Gaza by Israel has resulted in over 32,800 casualties, widespread devastation, and pushed more than a million individuals to the brink of starvation, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health.
