Oil prices are unlikely to rise sharply in the near future amid the situation with Iran; even in the event of a military operation they will not reach $100 per barrel, experts interviewed by TASS believe. "We believe the situation around Iran is already impacting global oil prices. According to Alexey Belogoryev, research director at the Institute for Energy and Finance Foundation, it's precisely US President Donald Trump's geopolitical premium that's supporting oil prices at $68-70 per barrel. Moreover, the rise in oil prices is being hindered by the surplus of supply on the market, the expert said, adding that for OPEC+ participants, a slight drop in Iranian production will be rather good news. Closing the strait would significantly increase oil prices, but we believe the likelihood of this happening is still quite low," Dudchenko said.
