Oil prices choppy after expletive-laden Trump threat to Iran - BBC

Oil prices have been left 'choppy' after Donald Trump threatened Iran with 'obliteration' in an expletive-laden rant. The US President's words have been met with concern on world markets, with Brent crude oil prices dipping by 0.6%. The comments came after Iran's ambassador to the UN said the US had 'declared war' on his country. Mr Trump's threat was made on Twitter and has been widely condemned. The US has reimposed sanctions on Iran, which it says are aimed at forcing it to limit its nuclear programme.
