Both benchmarks surged more than $3.50 on Monday as the clashes raised fears that the conflict could spread beyond Gaza into the oil-rich region.

"If reports of Iran's involvement turn out to be true, this would provide another boost to prices, as we would expect to see the U.S. enforcing oil sanctions against Iran more strictly. That would further tighten an already tight market," the ING analysts added., markets worried that if the conflict escalates it could hurt Middle East supply and worsen an expected deficit for the rest of the year.
Iran is complicit even though the United States has no intelligence or evidence that points to Iran's direct participation in the attacks, a White House spokesperson said on Monday.
