The son of Deputy Public Health Minister Santi Promphat was slapped with four months in jail and an 8,000 baht fine for driving under the influence, the Office of the Attorney-General said on Friday.
OIL prices jumped on Friday as reports that Israel had attacked Iran roiled markets and sparked concerns that Middle East oil supply could be disrupted.
Israel launched an attack on Iranian soil on Friday, sources told Reuters, the latest tit-for-tat exchange between the two countries that threatens to drag the region deeper into conflict. "Rising geopolitical risk premiums translate to a risk-off environment at this juncture with a heightened risk of oil supply disruption at least in the short-term," said Kelvin Wong, an analyst at OANDA in Singapore.
An Iranian counterattack poses"significant risks to the widening of the conflict to a regional one and could potentially put some oil supplies at risk. Prices of oil could stay supported in the meantime as tensions will continue to heat up," Yeap said.
