AI Summary

long article 5 min

Following the outbreak of war between the US/Israel and Iran, Russia has condemned the attacks, but stands to gain economically. Despite political condemnation, Russia is poised to benefit from rising oil prices as Iranian oil exports are suspended. With Venezuela's oil exports already stalled, the reduction in Iranian oil supply will increase demand for Russian Urals crude, boosting Russia's oil revenues. This comes after Urals crude prices had previously fallen due to Western sanctions related to the war in Ukraine. The conflict is expected to improve Russia's economic position in the global oil market.
