Global oil prices jumped by over 2 percent after the United States launched airstrikes on three of Iran’s nuclear sites. According to Oilprice.com, the market reacted quickly as trading opened on Monday. Brent crude climbed to $78.99 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) rose to $75.81 per barrel, both up from $77.07 and $73.83 recorded on Sunday.
The sharp increase followed US President Donald Trump’s announcement on Saturday that American forces had bombed Iran’s Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear facilities. Iran has vowed to retaliate, heightening tensions in the Middle East and fueling fears of further instability in global oil markets. Experts had already predicted a possible price surge as the Israel-Iran conflict escalated with US involvement.
Dr Paul Enenche, the Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, has declared an end to live broadcasts of church services. Speaking during Sunday’s service, he urged members to make it a priority to attend church physically rather than relying on watching from home.
Referencing Hebrews 10:25, Pastor Enenche stressed the need for believers to gather together in one place, highlighting that the church assembly plays a vital role in spiritual growth. He noted that virtual participation should no longer be encouraged, except for those living abroad who may not have access to a Dunamis branch.
“For many of you used to watching from your living rooms, this might be the last time,” he said, as the church prepares to shut down live streams on platforms like Dunamis TV, YouTube, and Facebook, which previously aired all Sunday and midweek services.
