Two oil tankers were attacked in the Gulf region, causing oil prices to rise at the beginning of the trading session

Two oil tankers were attacked in the northern Gulf near Iraq and Kuwait, and international oil prices rose sharply at the beginning of Thursday trading. Preliminary reports suggest that these vessels may have been hit by Iranian unmanned explosive ships or similar devices. The Northern Gulf is an important hub for global oil exports, and such attacks may affect shipping insurance costs, vessel routes, and supply stability. The specific details of the attack are still under investigation.
