Brent crude oil prices surged past $76 per barrel on Monday after the United States revoked Iran's general license to export oil, escalating tensions in the Middle East.
The move came in response to Iran striking three commercial vessels in the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a key chokepoint for global oil shipments. The revocation tightens sanctions on Iranian oil exports, reducing supply expectations and pushing prices higher.
