Global oil prices surged while Asian stock markets dropped sharply on Monday as the US-Israel war with Iran entered its fifth week, raising fears of a prolonged energy crisis, AzerNEWS reports, citing foreign media.

The United States has already signalled its intention to deploy forces to Kharg Island, widely regarded as the backbone of Iran’s energy infrastructure. Kharg Island accounts for approximately 90 per cent of Iran’s crude oil exports, with a terminal capable of handling close to two million barrels per day. It is, in effect, the lifeline of Iran’s energy economy. By seizing this island, Washington appears to believe it can effectively choke Iran’s economic breathing space.

United States President Donald Trump warned on Monday that if a deal is not “shortly” reached with Iran, Washington will be “blowing up and completely obliterating” all of its energy sites and Kharg Island, AzerNEWS reports.
