The US military command Centcom announced that the US carried out attacks "in self-defense" in southern Iran on Monday.
However, this did not stop the decline in oil prices in the US. At 02:30 local time in Sweden, July futures were down to $91.22 per barrel, CNBC reports.
North Sea oil did not follow the same trend, rising by just over one percent to $97.59 per barrel at the same time.
