Two oil tankers were attacked in the Gulf region, causing a sharp surge in oil prices at the opening.

Deep Tide TechFlow News, on March 12, according to foreign media reports, two oil tankers were attacked near the northern Gulf of Iraq and Kuwait. This has once again raised concerns about the safety of commercial shipping in the region, and international oil prices surged sharply in early trading on Thursday. Preliminary reports suggest that these ships may have been hit by Iranian unmanned explosive boats or similar devices, a method increasingly used in maritime attacks in the region. Analysts say the northern Gulf, especially the waters near Iraq and Kuwait, is a critical hub for global oil exports. Any instability in these waters could impact the global energy markets. Even localized attacks can raise shipping insurance costs, cause ships to reroute, and intensify fears of supply disruptions, at a time when the crude oil market is already under pressure from geopolitical risks. While the details of the attacks are still under investigation, these incidents highlight the growing fragility of the global energy supply chain in the region. (Jin10 Data)
