The United States plans to deploy brigade combat forces to support operations against Iran, causing international oil prices to surge significantly. Trump's contradictory remarks on US-Iran negotiations have caused oil prices to fluctuate sharply. Experts warn that energy markets face a crisis, and the global economy could collapse due to war, with oil prices high but demand potentially declining.

The United States reportedly plans to deploy battalion-sized combat units to support actions against Iran. Following reports of U.S. military movements, international oil prices extended their gains on Tuesday, with New York crude futures soaring by as much as 5.9%, reaching $93.36 per barrel; London Brent crude futures rose as much as 5.1%, hitting $105 per barrel.

The shadow of war with Iran and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz have triggered turbulence in the global oil market. U.S. President Trump initially posted conflicting signals about “progress in U.S.-Iran negotiations” on social media this week, causing Brent crude to fluctuate sharply between $96 and $112 per barrel.

Carlyle Group Chairman Marcel van Poecke, speaking at the CERAWeek 2026 Global Energy Conference in Boston, stated that the energy market is in an unprecedented full-scale crisis mode. Mizuho Securities analyst Paul Sankey warned that the war is destroying the Gulf economy, and the world is on the brink of a global depression. Although oil prices are rising, demand may shrink due to economic collapse.
