  • Iran has taken some shots at unrelated Nations with respect to the Ship Movement, PROJECT FREEDOM, including a South Korean Cargo Ship. Perhaps it’s time for South Korea to come and join the mission! We’ve shot down seven small Boats or, as they like to call them, “fast” Boats. It’s all they have left. Other than the South Korean Ship, there has been, at this moment, no damage going through the Strait. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Caine, will have a News Conference tomorrow morning. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Context

The suggestion for South Korea to join the mission might signal a broader military response, which could reverberate through energy markets and safe-haven assets. Traders should watch for potential volatility in oil prices and reactions in risk-sensitive currencies like the JPY and GBP as the situation develops.
