US-Iran tensions spark fears of fuel price hike in Pakistan
In another development, escalating tensions between the United States and Iran have once again unsettled global oil markets, raising concerns about a potential increase in petroleum prices in Pakistan.
Fears surrounding a possible disruption of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz have pushed international crude oil prices sharply higher.
In recent days, US crude oil prices have climbed to around $82 per barrel, while Brent crude has risen to approximately $84 per barrel. Just weeks earlier, the two benchmarks were trading near $68 and $71 per barrel, respectively.
Experts warn that countries heavily dependent on imported petroleum products, including Pakistan, could face increased economic pressure if the upward trend in global oil prices continues.
