U.S. crude oil breaks above $87 as Israel reportedly preparing for Iran attack this weekend

West Texas Intermediate futures rallied above $87 on multiple media reports that Israel is preparing for an imminent attack by Iran.
The U.S. embassy in Jerusalem has restricted government employees and their families from personal travel outside Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Be'er Sheva "out of an abundance of caution."
Brent crude oil futures could spike to $100 a barrel if Iran directly attacks Israel, according to Bob McNally, president of Rapidan Energy.
