US President Trump says Iran is just a military operation to him, it was largely over in two or three days; could take out electric capacity in one hour; we could knock out oil on Kharg island.

What it means

The comments from President Trump indicate a potentially aggressive stance toward Iran, which could escalate geopolitical tensions and impact oil prices and market sentiment. If markets interpret these statements as a precursor to action, we could see increased volatility in energy assets, particularly oil, as traders assess the risk to supply chains and regional stability.
