Oil drops 3% as US sanctions Iran, easing war fears

realitatea.net (Romanian)

Oil prices fell about 3% on Tuesday after the US administration chose to intensify economic pressure on Iran through new sanctions instead of an immediate military escalation, according to CNBC. The price drop reflects market relief that the US response avoided direct military action, which could have disrupted supply from the region. The new sanctions target Iran's oil exports, a key source of revenue for the country. The move comes amid ongoing tensions between Washington and Tehran, with the US seeking to curb Iran's nuclear program and regional influence. Analysts will watch for further price volatility as the situation develops.
