Trump: “I can end the Iran war whenever I want,” but it must conclude with a sweeping declaration that “Iran will never have nuclear weapons”
Key points:
- According to USA Today’s live coverage, Trump said at a rally in Lubbock, Texas, at 8:11 p.m. ET on October 27 (8:11 a.m. Beijing time on October 28) that “I can end the Iran war whenever I want,” but that it had to “end properly”—with Iran making a sweeping declaration that it would “never have nuclear weapons.”
- He also said this week was a “decision time”: either resume strikes or reach a deal. He repeatedly said the roughly eight-month war was expected to end immediately after the November 3 midterm elections.
- Earlier that day, at a rally in Corpus Christi, Trump said the U.S. was “making a fortune” from the Iran war because the blockade of Iranian ports was redirecting energy purchases to the U.S. But high gasoline prices remain the most immediate pain point for voters.
- Market context: BTC closed at around $80,795 on October 27 (+0.8%), while ETH was around $2,347. The Federal Reserve’s rate decision is due at 2:00 a.m. Beijing time on October 29. With geopolitical remarks and monetary policy signals converging, short-term volatility could increase.
My take: Near-term, I’m neutral on BTC. Trump’s remarks point more toward “winding down after the war” than escalation, but the phrase “decision time” leaves room for uncertainty. With the FOMC decision imminent, the market is more likely to wait and see before choosing a direction.
