According to CoinMeta, the price of Brent crude oil rose nearly 5% on Thursday, rebounding to around $105 per barrel, reaching its highest level in nearly a month. News of Washington's preparations for a new round of strikes against Iran fueled this rebound. This move reversed the trend of Brent oil prices briefly falling below $100 earlier this week. West Texas Intermediate crude oil (WTI) also climbed above $91. According to reports, the Pentagon has ordered U.S. Central Command to complete preparations for large-scale operations against Iran, with potential targets including nuclear facilities, energy, and infrastructure. President Trump has not made a final decision yet, but sources from the United States and Israel suggest that the strikes could occur before Israel's elections on October 27 and the U.S. mid-term elections on November 3. This report follows an article in The Atlantic Monthly, which stated that the White House has asked the Pentagon to provide options for strikes before the elections. Officials warn that such strikes could cause oil prices to rise significantly.
