A sharp increase in oil prices is predicted if Iran's oil infrastructure is destroyed.

Crude oil futures could rise above $200 a barrel, experts warn. A possible Israeli attack on Iranian oil facilities and their destruction could cause a significant increase in prices on the oil market. Swedish bank analyst Bjarne Schildrop believes that in the event of such a scenario, oil prices could exceed $200 per barrel. He made the corresponding forecast in an interview with CNBC. Experts note that Iran plays an important role in the global oil market and is a member of OPEC. They estimate that up to 4% of the world's oil supply could be at risk if Iran's oil industry is destroyed by a possible Israeli strike.

Media reports that US President Joe Biden is dissuading the Israeli side from attacks on Iranian oil facilities. Israel has not yet made a final decision on its response to the Iranian missile attack on October 1. On Sunday evening it became known that Iran had canceled all flights from 20:30 Sunday to 5:30 Monday. According to information, Israel plans to attack Iran within the next 48 hours. In this regard, American troops in the Middle East were raised to increased combat readiness.

Tehran threatened to carry out a massive strike on Israeli energy facilities in the event of an attack on Iranian territory. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared his country's right to respond to the Iranian attack.
