Xinhua, New York :
Oil prices rose on Friday, as tensions in the Middle East continued to provide support in the market.
The Iraqi military said on Friday the Kurdish Peshmerga forces used German rocket in fighting against Iraqi federal forces at a disputed area in the oil-rich province of Kirkuk.
Meanwhile, local media reported Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said earlier this week that Iran will cut 2015 international nuclear deal into shreds if the United States chooses to tear it up.
