Global Trade in Oil, Gas Could Be Rattled by Iran

About a week ago, the United States authorized airstrikes targeting nuclear facilities in Iran, in collaboration with Israel. Their objective, similar to that of Israel, was to slow down the development of the Middle Eastern country’s nuclear program.
