Iran war day 89: Lebanon strikes kill 31 as ceasefire tensions rise

The Brent benchmark oil price jumped up by more than three percent after U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced the new wave of bombings targeting Iranian missile sites and mine-laying boats, while China urged both sides to respect the truce and to resolve their dispute peacefully.

Oil prices remained elevated today as markets looked for signals that a shaky truce between the United States and Iran will be extended.

Neither the IDF nor Hamas has confirmed his death.

The ceasefire with Iran, nearly 50 days old, seemed less like a ceasefire this week, with new U.S. airstrikes, renewed threats from Tehran and President Trump set to huddle with top advisers on Wednesday.
