📖 Full Retelling
Global oil prices surged over 4% on March 5, 2026, as escalating tensions in the Middle East sparked widespread concerns about potential supply disruptions, with Iran conflict intensifying according to Hegseth who stated the confrontation has 'only just begun.' The surge in crude prices came as markets reacted to growing geopolitical risks in one of the world's most oil-rich regions, triggering a ripple effect across global financial markets.
