US President Trump says strategic objectives are nearing completion, must complete mission in Iran and will finish the job very fast, adds Iran can never be trusted with nuclear weapons
Says:
- US has plenty of gas.
- US produces more gas then Saudi Arabia and Russia combined.
- Countries that get oil via Hormuz must cherish it and must take the lead.
- Suggests countries buy oil from the US.
- Hormuz will naturally open when conflict is over.
- We are on track to complete all of America's military objectives shortly, very shortly.
- Will hit Iran very hard over the next 2-3 weeks.
- Will bring Iran back to the stone ages, where they belong.
Context
Trump's remarks indicate a significant escalation in tensions with Iran, suggesting that military action could be imminent. This rhetoric could have immediate implications for energy markets and safe-haven assets, particularly oil prices, as any conflict in the region impacts supply routes, especially through the Strait of Hormuz. Traders should monitor how this geopolitical risk affects the USD, equities, and commodities in the near term.
