Iran launched a missile attack on Israel overnight (October 1) in response to Israel's killing of a senior Hezbollah figure in Lebanon and its ground offensive, while Israel stated it will retaliate. International oil prices surged. Brent oil futures expanded their gains to 2.2% in Asian electronic trading.

On Wednesday (2nd), US online media Axios quoted Israeli officials as saying that Israel will launch a major retaliation within days, potentially targeting oil production facilities and other strategic locations within Iran.
