Trump: Oil Price Hike Temporary, "Small Price" for Global Security Amid Iran Attacks
•Donald Trump assures current oil price surge is temporary, a "small price" for global security, expecting a fall after Iran's nuclear threat is eliminated.
•Joint US-Israel attacks on Iran have caused a sharp rise in oil prices, with Brent crude hitting $115/barrel, highest in three and a half years.
•This is the first significant weekly oil price increase since March 1983, fueled by West Asia's war-like atmosphere and supply disruptions.
•US Energy Secretary Chris Wright indicates Americans might endure higher gas prices for several weeks.
•Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is elected Iran's new Supreme Leader; his future decisions and impact on oil prices are yet to be seen.
