Oil prices slip over $1 as US weighs ‘D-Day’ Iran sanctions

In the lead-up to impending US sanctions on Iran, oil prices fell as investors capitalized on recent gains.

Iran's rejection of these sanctions, coupled with its threat to cut oil exports from the Gulf, adds a layer of uncertainty to global energy markets that stakeholders are closely monitoring.
