Oil prices climbed in Asian trade Monday morning as escalating tensions in the U.S.-Iran conflict stoked concerns over potential supply disruptions in the Middle East. The rise reflects market anxiety about possible interruptions to crude output or shipping routes in the region. Traders are closely monitoring diplomatic and military developments between the two nations.

Any escalation could impact global oil flows, particularly through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for energy exports. The movement underscores how geopolitical risk continues to influence energy markets. Investors remain wary of further spikes if tensions persist or worsen.
