Oil prices surged more than 7% as renewed tensions in the Middle East raised concerns about potential disruption to crude supplies.

CNBC Markets reports that the move came after Iran launched an attack on U.S. forces using ballistic missiles, following which the U.S. signaled it would respond.

The market reaction reflects heightened risk around regional security, traders turning to oil as geopolitical stress escalated.
