Obama says 15-week Iran war left US worse off despite ceasefire
Former President Barack Obama said the 15-week war between the United States and Iran left the situation unimproved, ending only in a ceasefire. The Trump administration signed a Paris agreement with Iran, but nuclear negotiations remain deadlocked. An Exxon executive warned that if disruptions in Strait of Hormuz shipping drain inventories, oil could rise to $150–$160 a barrel, putting pressure on crude futures and upstream oil and gas company earnings.
