Karachi (HRNW)<\/strong> \u2014 Crude oil prices have risen in international markets amid growing tensions between the United States and Iran.<\/p>\n

According to reports, Brent crude reached $95.52 per barrel, while US crude (WTI) rose to $91.02 per barrel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The impact of international conflicts and geopolitical tensions extends beyond governments and financial markets, often affecting ordinary people. Rising oil prices can increase the cost of fuel, electricity, transportation and essential goods, placing a greater burden on low-income and vulnerable communities.<\/p>\n
