New Delhi , June 8 : Global crude oil prices rose more than 4 per cent after Israel and Iran exchanged strikes, threatening a fragile ceasefire even as Trump signalled that a peace deal isnt far away. The renewed conflict raised fears of a prolonged closure of the critical Strait of Hormuz.Brent crude futures rose $4.42 or 4.47% to $97.15 a barrel, while U.S. crude futures were up $4.07 or 4.50% at $94.61 per barrel, according to Reuters. The strikes between Iran and Israel plunged the volatile region further into uncertainty. Oil prices had fallen on Friday on hopes of the US and the Iranian regime getting close to a peace deal. Crude oil prices have flared since the start of the war in late February, rising as much as $120 per barrel during the peak of the conflict in March.Iran fired missiles at Israeli targets on Sunday after it targeted Lebanon with air strikes. Israel retaliated with strikes on Iran, including on a petrochemical plant, despite Trump urging restraint and insisting that a deal is very close. A durable ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon and immediate cessation of hostilities is one of the key demands of the Iranian regime for striking a peace deal with the US. Meanwhile, OPEC+ decided to increase production by 188,000 barrels per day in July, approving a fourth hike in as many months. The decision to increase the output comes even as member countries have struggled to meet the production targets owing to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Higher crude oil prices have raised inflation fears in the US and other economies. Higher energy prices have threatened household budgets in the US, leading to a drop in consumer sentiment to an all-time low in May.

West Asia conflict: India calls for immediate de-escalation, urges diplomacy for peace in region
Representative image New Delhi , June 8: After tensions heightened in West Asia and the Gulf region, India on Monday reiterated the call for immediate de-escalation of conflict and urged a diplomatic solution as the way forward for peace and stability to be restored in the region. The Ministry of External Affairs noted how the conflict, which has now lasted for over 100 days, has resulted in immense suffering and impacted the global economy. The statement said, India deeply regrets the renewed attacks in West Asia. These developments are a matter of utmost concern to the international community. This conflict has now lasted over 100 days and has already caused immense human suffering. It has also had a debilitating impact on the global economy and energy supplies. We call on all parties to immediately de-escalate tensions, ensure that civilians are not harmed and conclude ongoing negotiations for a diplomatic solution so that peace and stability can return to the region, it underlined. New Delhis call for restoration of peace comes amid the backdrop of the major military escalations over the last 24 hours, which have seen multi-city kinetic engagements, airstrikes on strategic installations, and heavy projectile salvos across the region. Marking a sharp escalation in West Asia, Israel and Iran traded fire on Monday, their wars 100th day, putting its already fragile truce in serious jeopardy and threatening to reignite all-out regional war. Compounding the maritime security matrix across regional choke points, the Iran-backed Houthis announced they were banning Israeli shipping on the Red Sea, a key shipping lane, The Jerusalem Post reported. The latest round of kinetic actions, including one on an Iranian petrochemical complex and what Irans Revolutionary Guard said was the targeting of two Israeli bases, came hours after President Trump reportedly called on Israel to refrain from retaliating against Tehrans missiles. The foundational breakdown of the cross-border truce infrastructure escalated after Israel launched airstrikes at Beiruts southern suburbs on Sunday, which led to Iran retaliating with its own strike on Israel, then to Mondays attacks and counterattacks. This sudden re-eruption of hostilities has cast a foreboding shadow over diplomatic efforts to permanently end the war, which originally commenced on February 28. The kinetic escalation severely threatens to derail US President Donald Trumps last-ditch efforts to establish an off-ramp by negotiating a comprehensive nuclear deal with Tehran. (ANI)

Next-gen Stars Look To Take Centrestage At Womens T20 World Cup 2026
With Renuka Singh Thakur: Every Women's T20 World Cup has minted new stars. The 2016 edition gave the world an 18-year-old Hayley Matthews, who was named Player of the Match in the final as West Indies lifted the trophy and is now the sides captain in the upcoming competition. The 2018 edition saw young Sophie Ecclestone tying batters in knots as England reached the final in the West Indies. The 2020 edition saw young Shafali Verma take the world by storm through her explosive power-hitting in Australia. For the upcoming 12-team competition, to be held in England and Wales from June 12 to July 5, it will be no different. IANS looks at the five players who have it in them to shine at the 2026 Womens T20 World Cup. Nandni Sharma (India) Indias search for a reliable fast-bowling option may have found its answer in Chandigarh-based Nandni. She made her T20I debut against England in Chelmsford last month with figures of 3-34, as India got a nice victory. Before this, Nandni shot into limelight by picking 17 wickets in ten matches for Delhi Capitals in WPL 2026, including a hat-trick and a five-for. With Renuka Singh Thakur yet to play on tour of England and Amanjot Kaur plus Kashvee Gautam unavailable due to injuries, Nandnis pace, accuracy and variation, especially of it being effective in the slog overs, has arrived at the right time to boost Indias campaign. Georgia Voll (Australia) Australias batting depth has long been the envy of the womens game, and Georgia has surged to the front of that queue. An ODI century in only her second appearance against India in 2024 announced her arrival at the international stage. A repeat hundred against the same opponents in early 2026 confirmed her credentials to be a consistent run-scorer for Australia. A blistering 101 off 53 balls against the West Indies in March elevated her to the top of the ICC Womens T20I batting rankings. In 12 matches, Georgia has amassed 474 runs while averaging 39.50 with a strike-rate of 156.43. With an appetite for scoring on big occasions, Georgia enters her maiden T20 World Cup as one of the most dangerous young batters in the draw. Kayla Reyneke (South Africa) The batting all-rounder has wasted little time in making an instant impression at the international level ahead of her first Womens T20 World Cup. She previously captained South Africa to the Under 19 Womens Cricket World Cup final in 2025 and made herself known as the next star of the game. In the first half of 2026, Kayla has collected two Player of the Match awards in her first three senior outings. She has so far proved that ice runs in her veins - on her T20I debut, Kayla scored an unbeaten 29 off 16 balls, including hitting the winning six against Pakistan. She replicated that performance on her ODI debut against New Zealand, hitting two sixes in the last over of the game to help the Proteas get an unlikely win. Tilly Corteen-Coleman (England) The 18yearold leftarm spinner has quickly established herself among Englands most promising bowlers. With her picking a two-wicket haul on ODI debut against New Zealand, Tilly will be a player to watch out for in the World Cup. Having debuted for Kent in 2024, Tilly rose through the domestic ranks with South East Stars before producing a headlinegrabbing spell in the Charlotte Edwards Cup, where she claimed four wickets in four balls. Her reputation was further enhanced at the ICC Womens Under19 T20 World Cup in 2025, delivering a matchwinning 4-8 against New Zealand in the Super Six stage. Darcey Carter (Scotland) Having debuted for Kent in 2024, Tilly rose through the domestic ranks with South East Stars before producing a headlinegrabbing spell in the Charlotte Edwards Cup, where she claimed four wickets in four balls. Her reputation was further enhanced at the ICC Womens Under19 T20 World Cup in 2025, delivering a matchwinning 4-8 against New Zealand in the Super Six stage. Also Read: Live Cricket Score With the stakes high, Darcey produced her best innings of the campaign under pressure. Still only 20 and having played international debut for three years, Darcey is already sitting at third spot on Scotlands alltime womens T20I runscoring list, which is a measure of her rapid rise in the national setup.
