Oil price has already been rising. but could rise further depending on
the expansion of the hostilities. Do not forget that Assad, though not a
close ally, is aligned with Iran's policy. Therefore, if he is
attacked, Iran may perceive this as an attack on Iran and may counter
react. The hostilities could escalate and that may mean that the price
of oil could rise quite substantially.
