Oil prices surged to a multi-year high as hopes for a landmark peace deal between the United States and Iran continue to dwindle. The fragile diplomatic efforts, which aimed to revive the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), have stalled, sparking concerns about a potential return to conflict in the Middle East. The resulting uncertainty has sent oil prices skyrocketing, with Brent crude reaching its highest level since 2014. As tensions escalate, analysts warn that the global oil market may be on the cusp of a major disruption, with far-reaching consequences for consumers and economies worldwide.
