Global airlines have suspended or reduced flights in the Middle East as the conflict between Israel and Iran rages after the United States bombed three Iranian nuclear enrichment sites at the weekend.
The United States carried out strikes against Iranian nuclear sites overnight on Saturday to Sunday after over a week of deadly missile exchanges between Israel and Iran.
Here is the latest airline situation:

Oil Slips Amid Abating Fears of Supply Disruptions

0009 GMT — Oil slips in early Asian trade amid abating fears of supply disruptions spurred by President Trump's comment that Israel and Iran agreed to a cease-fire that he said could result in the end of the war between the countries. In a post on Truth Social around 6 p.m. Eastern time, Trump said there will be a 'complete and total' cease-fire in about six hours when Israel and Iran have completed their final mission. Front-month WTI crude oil futures fall 3.8% to $65.93/bbl; front-month Brent crude oil futures drop 3.6% to $68.89/bbl. (

JGBs Edge Lower on Possible Iran-Israel Cease-Fire Agreement

0017 GMT — JGBs edge lower in price terms in the morning Tokyo session on a possible Iran-Israel cease-fire agreement which would reduce the safe-haven appeal of sovereign debt. President Trump said Israel and Iran agreed to a cease-fire that could end the war between the countries. Today's focus may also be on the Japanese Finance Ministry's auction of about 1 trillion yen of 20-year JGBs. Market participants will likely favor buying amid expectations of an improvement in supply/demand, Citi Research's rates strategist Tomohisa Fujiki says in a note. The 20-year JGB yield is 0.5bp higher at 2.345%. (

How Russia's overheating war economy could get a boost if the Iran conflict sends oil prices even higher

The climb in oil prices stemming from the Israel-Iran conflict could end up boosting Russia's economy. US and international oil prices jumped in the wake of US attacks on Iranian nuclear sites. Russia would likely welcome the boost to crude prices, as oil is the nation's top export. Oil prices spiked in the wake of the US entry into the Israel-Iran conflict, a development that could give a much-needed boost to Russia's war-weary economy. Brent crude, the international benchmark, traded around $76 on Monday, a day after the US bombed nuclear sites in Iran. That's up 14% from its price on June 12, the day Israel first targeted Iran's military leaders and nuclear program. Brent prices have climbed 26% from their low in early May. West Texas Intermediate crude traded around $74 a barrel, up 9% from the day of Israel's first attack. WTI prices are up 30% from their low last month.

The price of Urals oil, Moscow's flagship crude blend, also rose to around $63 a barrel on June 13, up 8% from its price on May 1, according to data from Argus Media cited by Bloomberg. A report from The Institute for the Study of War flagged the positive knock-on effects on Russia's economy, with oil being Moscow's top export — dnd the revenue that the Kremlin brings in from its energy trade is a key lifeline for its war effort in Ukraine. Russia put its economy on a war footing after the full-scale invasion, with President Vladimir Putin making moves to boost the output of the country's defense-industrial base. Production of key weaponry, like highly destructive glide bombs, drones, and missiles, has gone up since the start of the war. Russia has also increased contract bonuses and soldier pay to expand its invasion force upwards of 600,000 troops. "Continued rising oil prices following Israeli strikes against Iran may increase Russian revenue from oil sales and improve Russia's ability to sustain its war effort, but only if the price of oil remains high and if Russian oil does not come under additional international sanctions," the thnk tank said in a report last week, before the US entered the conflict over the weekend. Armed conflict between Israel and Iran — which the US joined on Saturday — also jeopardizes the Strait of Hormuz, a highly important passage for oil shipments in the Middle East. Russia is less reliant on this key transit route. The country has pivoted to selling its oil to Asian customers after getting hit with sanctions, and has rerouted more of its oil through the Suez Canal and the Strait of Malacca, according to the Energy Information Administration. "As long as the Straight remains at risk, political appetite for additional sanctions on Russian oil will remain low," The Royal United Services Institute, an independent British research institution, wrote in a note. The jump in oil prices comes at a pivotal time for Russia's economy, which has been bearing the cost of its war against Ukraine for over three years. In May, the nation said it would pull out another $5.5 billion from its liquid reserves to balance the budget deficit, which tripled in 2025. Russia's oil and gas revenue also dropped 35% year-over-year that month. According to the nation's Finance Ministry, the liquid assets in Russia's National Wealth Fund stood at 2.8 trillion roubles, or around $35.7 billion, in May. Calculations by Bloomberg show that's down 68% since the start of the Ukraine War. Meanwhile, the Trump administration's monthslong efforts to bring Russia and Ukraine to the negotiating table for peace talks appear to be going nowhere. Kyiv has denounced Putin's terms as effectively amounting to an unacceptable capitulation.
