In Europe, they doubted Iran’s involvement in the attack on refineries and warn the US against the operation
The Norwegian Aftenposten writes that the United States has established that the attack did not come from the territory of Yemen. At the same time, Norwegian journalists note that so far Washington has not provided evidence of Iran's involvement in the attack. drones to Saudi facilities.
But while for Norway the rise in oil prices looks generally positive, for many other European countries this is an extra cost. The German media clearly make it clear that the United States "needs to be thought out before declaring a possible military operation."
Recall that Donald Trump announced the bringing of troops "in full readiness" in connection with the attack on oil production and refining facilities in Saudi Arabia.
Die Welt released material in which the authors write the following:
Other German publications add that oil prices have already skyrocketed and could rise another percent on 15-20 in the next few days.
If the United States begins a military operation against Iran, the price of “black gold” will go to uncontrolled growth, which will lead to a sharp reduction in the level of GDP growth in the European Union, depending on oil supplies, including from the Middle East.
German journalists ask themselves: if Iran carried out the attack, then why did it need it in today's conditions?
From Die Welt's article:
The French press notes that if it comes to the military confrontation between the United States and Iran, the United States will not have any reserves to restrain oil prices.
