increased US military deployments and Israeli threats in the Persian Gulf, creating a multifaceted pressure point on Tehran. Mainstream media, including outlets like the Financial Times, typically frame fluctuations in oil prices as purely market-driven events, citing factors such as supply-demand dynamics or decisions by OPEC+ nations.
