US-Iran conflict and energy shocks drive oil volatility

Overview

The military conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran has entered its seventh month, characterized by a stalemate involving ‘Operation Economic Outcast,’ a blockade designed to isolate Iran from global trade. While the Trump administration has utilized military strikes to target Iranian infrastructure, Vice President JD Vance has downplayed the intensity of the fighting, stating he would not describe the situation as a ‘war.’

Tensions have escalated following the collapse of a June agreement between the US and Iran intended to extend a truce and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. This failure, alongside the Russia-Ukraine war, has led experts to suggest the world has entered “oil shock 2.0.”

Global energy markets remain highly volatile. While Brent crude has fluctuated around the $100 mark, WTI recently dropped below $100 to $99.53. Recent market activity during the week of September 21–25, 2026, saw Brent crude fluctuating between $104 and $105 per barrel, while WTI experienced a weekly decline of nearly 8%, falling to approximately $92.41 per barrel.

Diplomatic friction continues to influence these prices. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi proposed that Tehran could reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days if the United States adheres to the terms of an interim peace agreement established in June. However, U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly rejected this initiative.

Supply stability remains threatened by conflict near the Strait of Hormuz, Houthi pressure on the Bab el-Mandeb strait, and attacks on Saudi Arabia’s East-West Oil Pipeline. Rising energy costs continue to drive global inflationary pressures, with fuel price protests in Syria and Guatemala, and emergency energy-saving measures in India and the Philippines.
