Trump and Netanyahu hold White House talks as renewed Middle East tensions push oil prices higher.
US and Saudi forces launched retaliatory strikes on Iran-backed militants in Iraq after fresh attacks, while renewed tensions in the region drove crude oil prices higher.
US-Saudi strikes on Iraq on Wednesday killed at least 20 members of a former paramilitary alliance that includes pro-Iran groups, the alliance said.
The Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), an alliance of former paramilitary groups and factions now integrated into the Iraqi armed forces, said at least 20 fighters "were martyred and another 32 wounded according to a preliminary toll" following the US-Saudi strikes on its bases in seven provinces.
