Salem predicts that this attack may push Iran to make a deal with the U.S, "the outlines of which might be that Iran accepts to forgo enrichment inside Iran, with a big deal with the U.S. and the U.S. lifts sanctions on Iran and that could obviously lead to a sudden and rapid decline in oil prices, so one has to keep that in mind."

Israeli airstrikes targeting Tehran’s energy infrastructure have escalated the conflict with Iran, igniting major fires, disrupting global oil markets, and heightening fears of a wider regional war.
