11:00 - "First comes strength, then comes peace": Netanyahu praises American strikes on Iran

10:13 - "The American attack on Iran could push the price of oil to about $100 per barrel"
Oil is currently trading at $75 per barrel - and markets will wait until tomorrow to see what the impact of the American attack on Iranian nuclear facilities will be. Analyst: "A lot depends on how Tehran chooses to respond in the coming hours and days"
The American attack on Iran's nuclear facilities is expected to lead to a surge in oil prices, with the resumption of trading tomorrow - according to the assessment of traders and market analysts.
Since the war against Iran began more than a week ago, oil prices have been trading with sharp volatility. However, the current estimate is that the strengthening trend will resume on Monday, given the expectation of an Iranian response and the fact that this is a region responsible for a third of global oil production. The consequences are also expected to be reflected in an increase in shipping and diesel rates.
