Trump makes a lion’s share demand, and Iran’s old and new scores are settled together—just as a glimmer of hope at the Strait of Hormuz appears, it’s gone again!
Oil prices straight-up explode—Brent crude jumped 5% on Monday, soaring to $88. European diesel futures were even harsher, leaping more than 10%. At the same time, reports that Saudi Arabia, Libya, and Russian refineries were hit landed on the market, sending it into a panic.
On social media, Trump unveiled a new list: not only does Iran have to pay compensation for roadside bombs and those killed in the conflicts, but the families of people who were repressed for the past 50 years also have to be paid. Then he piled in all the overdue accounts involving Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and Gaza—and said this demand would be written into every negotiation as “firm” terms. It’s obvious Iran can’t possibly agree.
Iran fired back directly: the Strait can be reopened, but first the U.S. should stop its “illegal actions,” step in to provide relief, and pay compensation. Trump, in turn, said he “never discussed paying,” and even insisted that Hormuz is “currently under U.S. control.” But who would believe that? Iran then appointed the hardliner Rezaei as the head of the national security council, clearly signaling it will fight it out to the end.
Democratic Senate leader Schumer is rushing to condemn the move: once this war is fought, there’s no way to wrap it up. Both sides are dug in against each other—an agreement? Don’t even think about it in the short term. Oil prices will keep soaring; next, we’ll see who can’t hold out first. $DOS $BNB #金价升破4400美元创两月高位 #特朗普要求伊朗赔偿 #贝莱德加拿大推出比特币关联ETF
Do you think this Trump move is truly bold, or is it really just putting the U.S. on the fire? Drop your thoughts in the comments! 🔥
