US Iran war LIVE updates: Aramco profit tops estimates after war-driven oil price rise
Saudi Aramco reported first-quarter profit that surpassed analysts’ expectations following a war-induced rise in prices of oil and refined fuels.
Adjusted net income rose 26% to almost 126 billion riyals ($33.6 billion) in the quarter compared with a year earlier, according to a statement Sunday. That beat analysts’ profit expectations of 109 billion riyals.
The earnings reflect an increase in oil prices in March — when global benchmark Brent rose more than 43% — as Iran effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz following US and Israeli attacks. Saudi Arabia, which was ramping up exports before the war started, quickly redirected some shipments to an alternative port on the Red Sea within days of the conflict starting.
Oil prices have risen to four-year highs in recent weeks and have stayed near $100 a barrel as tensions around the Strait of Hormuz continue to deepen what the International Energy Agency described as the biggest supply disruption in history. Saudi Arabia and other Persian Gulf nations such as the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Iraq have also been forced to cut production because of attacks on fields and storage space filling up.

US Iran war LIVE updates: US awaits Iran’s feedback on latest proposal
US Iran war LIVE updates: The US is still waiting on Iran’s response to its latest proposal to end the war after suggesting word could come imminently, following clashes in the Strait of Hormuz that strained a monthlong ceasefire.
Iran gave no public indication by late Saturday whether it would accept President Donald Trump’s plan, sent on Wednesday, which proposes that the Islamic Republic reopen the waterway and the US end a blockade on Iranian ports over the next month.
That’s after Trump told reporters at the White House on Friday he expected a response “tonight.” Asked if Iran was intentionally delaying the process, he said “we’ll find out soon enough.”
“We’ll go a different route if everything doesn’t get signed up, buttoned up,” Trump said. “We may go back to Project Freedom if things don’t happen,” he added, referring to the brief US effort to break Iran’s maritime stranglehold and escort ships through the strait, “but it’ll be Project Freedom Plus, meaning Project Freedom plus other things.”
