As the war in Iran continues, the price of oil is rising.

The Associated Press reported that crude oil prices jumped more than 8% after Iran struck the U.S. embassy in Saudi Arabia with a drone on Tuesday.

The attack is part of a strategy to attack areas critical to oil and natural gas production.

Benchmark U.S. crude has jumped 8.6% to $77.36 a barrel.
