80m is the current market proce.

A takeover would attract a premium. The question is how big a premium? Surely at least 100p. If others pile in then lots more!

Westowpods,

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Shell considering a takeover of BP!

JMax, I think you meant DURING market hours...

The USA beat Iraq and that was since 1945...

Mines would likely be used.

Once in place, air cover becomes irrelevant.

At a few minutes past midnight, Brent is at around $79, having been at $80 per barrel a short while after opening.

No, not even slightly, StanleyB, but even if I were, so what? NATO has nothing to do with the Middle East.

Invrsrat,

The Iranians could close Hormuz with mines.

Or, more cheaply, simply say that they will close it with mines...ni insurance company would cover the oil tankers at that point.

Nothing to do with NATO, StanleyB.

As being reported live on Sky News and the BBC News Channel, Trump confirms that US bombers have hit three different nuclear sites in Iran. Trump claims success, but nit confirmed independently yet.

Sky News speculating that the price of crude oil will rose in the nexr few days. Perhaps, but it is not certain, as some may now see an end to this conflict on the horizon.

How could Iran escalate this? Is it even capable?

Trump to address the nation in TV later.

His chances of a Nobel Prize for Peace likely gone.

No way! Cutting the dividend would collapse the share price! Paying off debt would have minimal, if any, effect on the share price. It would also not make the creditors happy as they would then have to find new places to invest in.

With inflation the value of rhe liability in the balance sheet falls in real terms so let it wither on the vine.

We need the price of crude oil to rise significantly or a takeover fight over BP!

Sorry, I meant to type "trading"..

"Hey ho, plenty of opportunities around COViD training".

What does that mean?

1. Armani, what is "P.O. R"?

Salt-n-Peppah, I suppose that Iran could. It will depend on whether it has enough capability left after repeated bombings.

Would have been nice, Caitlin, had you given some figures to justify your "spiked" claim!

Caitlin,

Israel was born out of terrorist acts! Look up what Menachem Begin did at the King David Hotel.

Salt-n-Peppah,

Why would US involvement bother you? Just curious...

Onsolidground,

There is no need to prove that a nuclear weapon has been built or is being developed! A suitcase full of conventional explosives and enriched uranium would be enough to cause damage through the spread of radioactive dust (a 'dirty bomb').
