Iran has been involved in the conflict in the Middle East, and the direct conflict between Israel and Iran may further escalate. Iran is an important oil producer in the Middle East. Iran's daily crude oil production exceeds 3 million barrels, and it guards the Strait of Hormuz, an important oil transportation channel in the world. If geopolitical tensions in the Middle East lead to the blockade of oil transportation in the Persian Gulf, 12 million barrels of Middle East crude oil exports will be affected every day.

It is expected that oil prices may continue to fluctuate and strengthen, and the pullback can be supported by more ideas.
