      <title>Oil jumps 4% as new military strikes threaten Hormuz shipments</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330463336/oil-jumps-4-as-new-military-strikes-threaten-hormuz-shipments</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Oil prices surged over 4% on Monday as energy shipments via ​the Strait of Hormuz remained under threat, with the US and ‌Iran announcing renewed military strikes.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Brent crude futures climbed $3.10, or 4.08%, to $79.11 by 0325 GMT, while US West Texas Intermediate crude rose $2.95, or 4.11%, to $74.36 a barrel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;US forces completed another wave of strikes ​against Iran on Sunday, hitting dozens of targets at multiple locations with ​precision munitions, the Central Command said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said on ⁠Monday they attacked US military bases in Kuwait and Bahrain.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;US President Donald Trump said ​on Sunday that the Strait of Hormuz is open to commercial traffic, although Iran ​declared earlier that it closed the strait after a vessel travelled on an unapproved route and was struck.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some 20% of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas transited the strait before ​the war began at the end of February.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Six vessels transited the strait on ​Sunday, ship-tracking data from Kpler showed, the lowest number in five weeks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The escalating attacks cast further ‌doubt ⁠on the future of an interim US-Iranian agreement signed last month that aimed to reopen the strait and end the war after a further 60 days of negotiations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Following the agreement, global oil supply rose by 4.1 million barrels per day in ​June, but remained 9.4 ​million bpd below ⁠pre-war levels, the &lt;a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="link--external" href="https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/us-iran-escalation-could-threaten-2027-oil-market-surplus-iea-says-2026-07-10/"&gt;International Energy Agency&lt;/a&gt; said in its monthly report on Friday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Hopes of a relatively quick resolution to the recent ​skirmishes may be in doubt after tension escalated over the ​weekend,” ANZ ⁠analysts said in a note.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;IG market analyst Tony Sycamore said the relatively tame rise in oil prices suggested the market was taking the view that the current flare-up ⁠represented an ​escalation within a fragile truce and fell well ​short of a complete collapse of the ceasefire.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“How accurate that view is remains to be seen,” he ​said in a note.&lt;/p&gt;
