Oil Prices Bounce Higher After New US Strikes on Iran

Oil prices jumped higher after the United States launched fresh self-defense strikes on Iranian targets, shattering earlier hopes for an imminent peace deal and raising fears of further disruption to global energy supplies. Brent crude, the international benchmark, reclaimed nearly all of Monday’s losses, climbing by $1.40 or 1.5 per cent to settle at $97.56 per barrel shortly after the US military action began. US crude (WTI) also rose, recovering part of the sharp selloff that had seen prices drop nearly 7 per cent earlier in the session. The US strikes targeted missile launch sites and a drone control facility near Bandar Abbas in southern Iran, as well as vessels attempting to lay mines close to the Strait of Hormuz. The renewed escalation reignited concerns about the security of the vital waterway, which Iran has effectively blocked since March and […]

The United States has carried out fresh airstrikes on Iranian targets, prompting a retaliatory attack by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard on an American military base as tensions over the 2026 Iran war escalate again.

US Treasury Sanctions Iran Authorities Overseeing Strait of Hormuz

The United States Treasury has announced new sanctions against Iran’s Persian Gulf Strait Authority, the body created by Tehran to oversee and charge tolls on ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz. The Persian Gulf Strait Authority, launched on May 18, is responsible for approving vessel passage and collecting fees reportedly as high as $2 million per ship, forming part of Iran’s bid to consolidate control over the strategic waterway. The Strait of Hormuz handles a significant share of global oil and gas shipments, and Iran has been enforcing a multi-tiered clearance system for vessels using checkpoints on islands in the Gulf. Under the new measures, the Persian Gulf Strait Authority has been added to the US Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list, meaning any assets it holds under US jurisdiction are frozen and US persons are barred from dealings with it.

2027 Presidency: Controversies Trail ADC Primaries, Court Clears Jonathan

Controversies have trailed the presidential primaries of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, ex-Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike jostle for the party’s ticket ahead of the 2027 general election. The heightened tension within the ADC followed the Federal High Court judgment delivered on Tuesday in Abuja, which cleared former President Goodluck Jonathan to contest the 2027 presidential election. Justice Peter Lifu dismissed a suit filed by Abuja-based lawyer Johnmary Jideobi seeking to bar Jonathan from running, ruling that the former president remains eligible under the 1999 Constitution as amended. Justice Lifu held that Section 137(3) of the Constitution, which restricts any person from taking the oath of office of president more than twice, could not be applied retroactively to Jonathan, who completed the tenure of the late […]
