      <title>Oil climbs following renewed US, Iran strikes in Middle East</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330461460/oil-climbs-following-renewed-us-iran-strikes-in-middle-east</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Oil prices rose on Monday following days of tit-for-tat strikes by the ‌US and Iran that underscored the fragility of their interim peace deal and again slowed energy shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Brent crude futures climbed 58 cents, or 0.8%, to $72.57 a barrel at 0207 GMT ​while US West Texas Intermediate crude was at $70.11 a barrel, up 88 cents, or ​1.3%.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“There’s still plenty of risk facing the oil market. Even so, participants ⁠appear to be … focusing on what a continued recovery in oil flows would mean for ​the global balance,” ING analysts said in a note on Monday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“This complacency is odd and clearly ​leaves significant upside risk if the supply recovery proves slow.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Brent crude fell 10.6% last week, its third weekly decline, after crude shipments through the strait rose last week to their highest level since the US-Israeli war on ​Iran began in late February.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, traffic has since slowed following renewed attacks on ships in ​the strait from Thursday, including a Qatar-linked oil tanker, that triggered strikes from the US and Iran in the ‌worst ⁠escalation since they signed an interim peace deal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Capping oil price gains, Iran and the US agreed to halt recent hostilities in the Gulf and renew talks regarding their dispute over the Strait of Hormuz, a US official said on Sunday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“The market is likely to re-evaluate its assumption of ​a quick recovery of ​oil supply from ⁠the Persian Gulf,” ANZ analysts said in a note.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Saudi oil giant Aramco’s crude oil loadings on Friday at its Ras Tanura terminal, west of ​the Strait of Hormuz, after they were halted for nearly four ​months, as ⁠oil producers ramped up output and exports ahead of an interim deal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Loadings continued even after a helicopter belonging to the company crashed on Sunday at Ras Tanura, killing 14 nationals. The cause of the ⁠crash ​was unknown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Physical flows are constrained by tanker backlogs, damaged ​infrastructure and production shut-ins.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It could take the remainder of the year before supply is near pre-conflict levels,“ ANZ analysts ​said.&lt;/p&gt;
