LONDON — The global price of oil topped $100 a barrel on Wednesday for the first time since July, as continued tensions between Iran and the United States added to uncertainty over future supply.<\/p>\n

The rise followed a statement on Tuesday by U.S. Central Command, which said<\/a> that its forces destroyed five Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps oil tankers.<\/p>\n

The IRGC followed those strikes by issuing a warning that all oil tankers in Kuwaiti and Bahrani waters should be evacuated.<\/p>\n

Brent crude oil prices, a benchmark for global trading, climbed on Wednesday by about 2.7%, trading at about $100.57 a barrel for contracts with November deliveries.<\/p>\n

U.S. oil traded at about $95 a barrel, up by about 2%.<\/p>\n
