Oil prices have increased to levels not seen since concerns about a war with Iran first emerged, according to MarketWatch.

The rise in oil prices comes as the U.S. and Israel may conduct strikes on Iran after their voters participate in upcoming elections.

MarketWatch reported that the oil market is closely watching these geopolitical developments, which could further impact prices.

The situation remains fluid as the midterm elections approach, with investors wary of potential disruptions in the region.
