- "We are now facing Iran going through its weakest state in ten years."
- Iran has launched an unprecedented attack on embassies and diplomatic facilities, just as it attacked airports in an unprecedented move.
- Our goals in Iran are clear and we will achieve them within weeks, not months.
- Strait of Hormuz will open with Iran's approval or through an international coalition with US participation.
- The Strait of Hormuz will open one way or another when our military operation in Iran concludes.
- Accepting Iran's sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz is rejected and a dangerous precedent that allows countries to seize international waterways

Overall, this suggests that geopolitical risks surrounding energy supplies may rise, increasing volatility in oil markets and potentially impacting currencies tied to oil economies.
