Date:

Amid Iran’s attack on US Bases in Iraq on Wednesday, oil prices witnessed a sharp climb as the United States and Iran are expected to get involved in a rift.

According to reports, US crude was last up by more than 1.2% to over $63 a barrel.

Meanwhile, Brent crude, a global oil benchmark, was last up 1.6% to about $69 a barrel.

Iran launched dozens of ballistic missiles on US base in Iraq as a response to the US killing Iranian General Qasem Soleimani in Baghdad.

Iran has called that attack an “act of war” and “state terrorism” and vowed a response.

Meanwhile, Iran’s Supreme Leader said that missile attacks were ‘a slap in the face’ of the United States. While Iran claimed that as many as 80 US troops were killed in the attack.
