The US Navy has seized the Iranian-flagged commercial vessel TOUSKA in the Arabian Sea after a six-hour standoff. In response, global oil and gas prices have spiked sharply, with Brent crude jumping 7.9% and European gas rising about 11%. Analysts attribute the market volatility to the escalating tensions in the Middle East, particularly incidents in the Strait of Hormuz, and warn prices may remain volatile as the conflict develops.
