"Greetings from $ 200 oil": Iran did not understand the US attack

Iran is outraged by the US attack on boats laying mines and The country's air defense is promising oil for $200. The United States says that the ceasefire continues and negotiations are underway. Oil reacts poorly to events.

"As long as the Americans continue their military adventures in our region, no agreement will be reached. The US government has repeatedly shown that it understands only the language of force. Greetings from oil at $ 200," Ebrahim Zolfagari, a representative of the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, wrote on Twitter.

He added that the attacks occurred just a few hours after the Iranian negotiators arrived in Qatar to continue peace talks.

In addition, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that it had shot down several American drones and attacked American ships.

Nevertheless, the United States believes that the ceasefire continues to operate and peace talks continue.

"The US Central Command continues to protect our forces by exercising restraint under the current ceasefire," a Pentagon spokesman told FoxNews.

In this situation, the oil market did not worry about contradictory statements and oil quotes remained almost at the same level — $ 96 per barrel.

As EADaily reported, the number of tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz has increased in recent days, but these are units compared to the previous movement along the route.

The International Energy Agency estimates that the volumes of 400 million barrels from the strategic reserves of the IEA member countries released to the market may end as early as July - August. At the same time, the Strait of Hormuz does not open, and its shutdown has reduced oil supplies to the world market by 14 million barrels per day — about 14% of world volumes.
