  "account": "The price of Brent crude oil, which initially dropped by more than 1% in the early morning and was at $103.50, has turned around on Monday and surged by 0.75%, surpassing the $105 mark. The Brent barrel, the benchmark in Europe for delivery in December, is now at $105.50 after Iran insisted on Monday that navigation through the Strait of Hormuz would remain unsafe until the United States ends the war and blocks Iranian ports, amid a rise in attacks on tankers in the strategic waterway. Iran's foreign ministry spokesman, Ismail Bagaei, stated that as long as the United States continues generating insecurity in this waterway and the region through naval blockades and economic warfare, which it boasts of despite being acts of military aggression against a country, safety will not return to this waterway. He added that Tehran is not satisfied with the current situation in the strategic waterway as the security of the Strait of Hormuz is of vital importance to the Persian nation. He also denied that navigation and oil transportation through Hormuz have returned to normal as maintained by the United States. Iran's diplomatic statements come amid a surge in oil tanker attacks in the Strait of Hormuz over the past few days, causing the oil transit through this strategic waterway to drop again. The price of the Brent barrel fell at the early market after U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Friday that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to suspend attacks on their respective energy infrastructures, which have been escalating in recent weeks and affecting fuel prices globally. The West Texas Intermediate (WTI), the U.S. benchmark, which also opened with declines, rose by 0.63% to $92.43.",
