CAIRO/DUBAI, July 31 (Reuters) – Oil prices rose on Friday after Iran said it had stopped two vessels seeking to exit the Strait of Hormuz, underscoring concerns over global energy supplies following a drone attack on ships in a Mediterranean Egyptian port this week.
Iran said four other tankers turned back after its forces intervened, although the Iranian reports could not be independently confirmed.
