Crude oil futures closed Thursday slightly higher, but rose in after-hours trading following reports that Iran is preparing to attack Israel from within Iraqi territory in the coming days.
Israel's intelligence agency believes that Iran is preparing to launch attacks using a large number of drones and ballistic missiles through pro-Iranian militias in Iraq, Axios reported.
Such attacks would likely increase the possibility of a strong retaliation from Israel, including Iran's oil infrastructure.
Crude oil surged by as much as 3% on this news, but then retraced its gains and is currently up by just under 2%. In regular trading, December Nymex crude oil futures (CL1:COM) closed at $69.26/barrel, up 0.9% from the previous month, while December Brent crude oil futures (CO1:COM) finished trading at $73.16/barrel, up 0.8% from the previous month.
On the other hand, Nymex natural gas futures (NG1:COM) for December saw a slight increase in after-hours trading due to reports of Iran preparing to attack Israel.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has instructed a response to Israel's recent attacks, believing that not responding means admitting defeat, as reported by The New York Times on Thursday.
According to three Iranian officials, Ayatollah Khamenei's decision was made after considering the extent of the damage and what not retaliating signifies.
He then instructed the Supreme National Security Council to plan for a counterattack.
According to sources, the Iranian military is planning a series of attacks on Israeli military targets, and due to Iran not wishing its actions to contribute to the victory of former US President Donald Trump, there is a high possibility of the attacks taking place after the US presidential election on November 5th.
Meanwhile, Israel is reported to suspect that Iran's retaliation may take place from Iraqi territory, possibly before the US election.

A few days after Israel carried out unprecedented airstrikes on several military facilities in Iran, media and think tanks in Tehran, along with some Iranian authorities, are currently evaluating the impact and significance of the attacks.
This may indicate a shift from previous efforts to underestimate the importance of Israeli operations, perhaps reflecting Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's directive not to underestimate or exaggerate the effects of the attacks.
Meanwhile, Khamenei stated that how to respond to Israel is left to the judgment of other officials. Several observers, including political analysts from Iran International Morad Beyshi, interpreted this as a sign that Khamenei is trying to avoid responsibility for potential conflicts with Israel once again.
The reformist website in Tehran, 'Rouydad24', stated in a report on Tuesday that the shadow war between Iran and Israel effectively ended with the Saturday attacks and raised the question of whether Iran is now preparing for open conflict.
The site quoted a statement by Mohammad Kazu'i, head of the Middle East Strategic Research Group under the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to answer this question...

Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports that Israel's public broadcaster has released the document of the ceasefire proposal between Israel and Lebanon submitted by the USA.
The proposal includes the authorization for Israel to conduct airstrikes on Lebanese territory along the border of both countries, in order to prevent threats from Hezbollah and other groups.

[Seoul, 31st, Reuters] - The South Korea Joint Chiefs of Staff announced that North Korea launched a ballistic missile towards the East Sea on the 31st.
Details of the missile have not been confirmed.
Japan's Coast Guard, as part of the Defense Ministry's information, announced that there is a possibility of a ballistic missile being launched from North Korea.

Tokyo Electric Power Holdings announced on the 30th that the consolidated interim financial results for September 2024 showed a net profit of 189.5 billion yen, a decrease of 46.0% compared to the same period last year. The surplus from the 'Fuel Cost Adjustment System,' which delays the impact of fuel cost fluctuations on electricity prices, decreased. Revenue decreased for the 2nd consecutive year to 3,354.9 billion yen, down by 4.5%.
They recorded 33.6 billion yen as special losses for compensation costs related to rumors of damage caused by the release of treated water from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the ocean.
TEPCO is unable to foresee the restart of the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant (Niigata Prefecture), which could improve the balance by approximately 100 billion yen per year when one unit is operational. Therefore, the performance forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2025 remains undecided.
Vice President Hiroyuki Yamaguchi, who held a press conference in Tokyo, stated, "We want to clearly explain to the local community that the safety of the power plants has been enhanced."

The Israeli military announced on Tuesday that fighter jets attacked over 100 targets across Lebanon, eliminating dozens of "terrorists".
One of the targets attacked by the Israeli military was Hezbollah's rocket launch sites, as posted on social media.
In Gaza, the Israeli military stated that they continue operations in the Jabalia refugee camp, which has been under military siege for over 3 weeks. Tens of thousands of Palestinians are believed to be trapped there without access to food, water, and pharmaceuticals, under intense shelling.
