Crude oil prices rose more than 3% on Thursday as President Donald Trump weighed military strikes on OPEC member Iran. U.S. crude rose $2.21, or 3.5%, to close at $65.42 per barrel. Multiple sources told Reuters that Trump is weighing targeted strikes on Iranian security forces and leaders to inspire anti-government protesters. The president wants to create conditions for regime change, two U.S. sources told Reuters. The president threatened Tehran with larger strikes than the attack the U.S. launched last June, which targeted Iran's nuclear facilities.
