A sharp rise in global oil prices following Israeli strikes on Iran will benefit Russia and bolster its military capabilities in the war in Ukraine, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Friday in comments that were under embargo until Saturday afternoon. Speaking to journalists in Kyiv, Zelenskyy said the surge in oil prices threatens Ukraine’s position on the battlefield, especially because Western allies have not enforced effective price caps on Russian oil exports. “The strikes led to a sharp increase in the price of oil, which is negative for us,” Zelenskyy said.

In the past hour, seven drones launched at Israel from Iran, were intercepted by the Israeli Air Force and Israeli Navy, the military says.

President Donald Trump issued a stern warning to Iran, stating that any assault on the United States would trigger an unprecedented military response “at levels never seen before.”
He emphasized that the power unleashed by the U.S. Armed Forces would be unlike anything witnessed in the past.
In a message posted on his Truth Social account, Trump made it clear that the United States was not involved in the recent overnight strike on Iranian territory. He added, “we can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict!!!”
