BEIJING/SINGAPORE, June 25 (Reuters) - Oil prices extended their decline on Thursday to near levels last seen before the start of the Iran war, as expectations of rising supply from the Middle East outweighed demand concerns.
Prompt-month Brent crude futures for August delivery fell $1.06, or 1.44%, to $72.68 a barrel by 0639 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate lost 76 cents, or 1.08%, to $69.58 a barrel.
