Iran launched an attack on Israel for the first time since the ceasefire agreement took effect on April 8, in retaliation for Israel’s strike on Beirut. There have been no reports of casualties or property damage so far. US President Donald Trump said he would immediately call Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to urge him not to take retaliatory action against Iran. He stressed that the US and Iran are very close to reaching a final agreement, which could be concluded as soon as Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday this week. Trump described it as a good deal and said he did not want it to be derailed by the current escalation. Trump added that the Iranian missile attack did not hit anyone and expressed hope that Israel would refrain from responding. He warned that if Israel retaliates, the situation could drag on as it has over the past 47 years, or even the past 3,000 years. International oil prices advanced this morning (8th), with Brent oil futures and New York oil futures both climbing more than 2%, quoted at USD95.44 and USD92.68 per barrel, respectively.
