Says
- We have already won many ways, but haven't won enough.
- We are determined to achieve total victory.
- Gulf allies have been a big force and a great help.
- Iran has very few launches left and US is striking where Iran makes drones.
- This will be finished pretty quickly.
What it means
President Trump's remarks indicate a hawkish stance on Iran, framing US actions as both decisive and short-term. This commitment to swift action could heighten tensions in the Middle East, impacting oil prices and risk sentiment in global markets, particularly for commodities like Brent Crude and WTI. Traders should monitor responses in equity indices and currency pairs, as geopolitical risks could drive volatility across asset classes.
