Oil prices rose on Monday as tensions between the U.S. and Iran remained high following a drone strike which targeted a nuclear power plant in the United Arab Emirates. U.S. President Donald Trump warned that the “clock is ticking” for Iran to accept a deal, as reports suggested that the U.S. and Israel are actively discussing more military operations against Tehran. Trump later said in an interview with Fortune that Tehran was "dying to sign" a peace deal.
