Fears of petrol price spike in Ireland as US and Israel's attacks on Iran reverberate

Irish industry body says 'no indication' yet of dramatic increases at pump

Smoke rises up after an air strike in Tehran on  Sunday. A representative body for the oil and petrol industry in Ireland said there is "no indication"  that this weekend’s attacks by the US and Israel on Iran events will lead to dramatic or sustained increases in Irish pump prices.

Irish motorists are bracing for a surge in petrol prices after the US and Israel's attacks on Iran and the death of Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei sparked fears of a wider conflict which could last months.

Iran's supreme leader died in weekend air strikes which hit Iran, while killed hundreds of people. Iran responded with attacks on Israel, and in Dubai, Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait.
