WTI Climbs to $91.15, Highest Since July 24, on Middle East Supply Risks

West Texas Intermediate trades around $91.15 per barrel on Monday — its highest level since July 24 — as weekend US–Iran attacks add to Middle East supply concerns.

CENTCOM said it struck three Iranian vessels (near Kharg, near Jask, and an empty tanker in the Gulf of Oman) after Iranian missile attacks on US Navy ships — that weekend tanker thread sits on a separate tanker note.

Al Jazeera reported Iran’s Mohsen Rezaei saying Tehran will declare a restricted zone near the Strait of Hormuz and announce a new shipping route agreed with Oman in the coming days — attributed Iranian claims on that page. Hormuz is not reopened.
