US President Trump says the US military is hitting Iran very hard, and on military action to end the Iranian operation, says more of the same; thinks Cos. should use the Strait of Hormuz

President Trump's comments on military action against Iran and the emphasis on using the Strait of Hormuz signal a continuation of a confrontational U.S. foreign policy stance. This could heighten geopolitical tensions, which typically support crude oil prices and may also impact broader market sentiment, particularly in safe-haven assets like gold and the USD. Traders should be mindful of possible volatility in energy markets and currencies as these developments unfold.
