Caption: Oil Jumps Nearly 7% As Trump Vows Continued Iran Strikes. Oil prices surged nearly 7% after President Donald Trump said the U.S. would continue attacks on Iran. Brent crude rose to around $108 per barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate climbed above $106. Trump said the military campaign was close to achieving its goals but gave no clear timeline for ending the war. Investor fears are growing over prolonged disruptions to global energy supplies. Tensions escalated after an oil tanker linked to QatarEnergy was struck by an Iranian missile in Gulf waters. The International Energy Agency warned supply disruptions could begin impacting Europe’s economy as early as April. The Strait of Hormuz remains a critical concern as conflict threatens a key route for global oil shipments. Markets reacted sharply to the prospect of a longer conflict and continued instability in the region. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
