US crude oil futures rose by about 5.05%, equivalent to $3.95, to close at $82.13 per barrel.
📌 Escalation in tensions between Iran and the United States—along with the exchange of demands for compensation and diminishing hopes of reaching an agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz—has reignited market concerns about global energy supplies.
