Brent crude oil returns to $100! Iranian Supreme Leader's advisor: Conflict with the US could escalate to the Indian Ocean.

The situation in the Middle East may face further escalation risks, and international oil prices continue to rise.

On September 24, according to Fars News Agency, a semi-official Iranian media outlet, Yahya Rahim Safavi, an advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader, stated that the current conflict has extended from the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz to the Red Sea, and if the situation escalates further, the potential scope of the next phase of operations could expand to the Indian Ocean and other regions.

Safavi stated that the conflict could escalate further if Iran's key targets and interests are attacked again. He also indicated that the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait could become new operational zones should the United States launch new military operations. These remarks came as the international crude oil market continued to strengthen, with Brent crude regaining the $100 per barrel mark. The market remains focused on the potential impact of escalating tensions in the Middle East on oil supply and shipping routes.
