Global oil prices soar after Israel attacks Iran
The cost of crude oil affects everything from the price of food at the supermarket to how much it costs to fill up your car.

Why.
The laziness of the average person continues to amaze me. You’ve chosen to ask and wait for the answer to a question which could have been answered by reading the article you’ve commented on. “Why” is the reason journalists pen these articles.
Honestly, fuck link aggregators. If I wanted to read articles elsewhere I would've done so.
Not to mention that they are terrible for web longevity. Website gone? Most likely content gone as well.
I thought that the whole idea of Lemmy was to prevent content getting nuked if any of our subreddits are gone. Linking to articles without a decent summary added is actively anti-user in my opinion.
yeah why talk to actual people on a discussion forum made for just this when you can ask chatgpt instead?
A major member of OPEC was just attacked. Had you not put those two pieces of information together?
Iran produces 5% of global oil and there are a lot more oil producers in the region, which might end up getting involved. Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iraw, Kuwait and Qatar come to mind. We did see Iran attacking Saudi oil production a few years ago, so this might happen again. Hopefully not, but still.
I fear something bad is going to happen. Idk if Iran can just sit around and let Isreal bomb them.
There's always been a proportionate response.
They already launched drones against Israel and some of them got shot down by the Saudis.
Not by Saudi Arabia but Jordan. The drones don't need to fly over Saudi airspace to reach Occupied Palestine, that would be an unnecessary detour.
Some % of that was fake news
OPEC.
