Trump Threatens Iran Strikes, Markets React

0:00On March 30, President Trump dropped a bombshell on truth social, threatening to wipe out Iran's electric grid and water supply unless they reopen. The Shred of Hormuz right now. He said the U.S. is close to a peace deal with a new regime there, but no agreement means strikes on power plants, oil wells, and even desalination. Facilities that keep over 90 million Iranians hydrated. Iran's parliament is pushing to ditch the nuclear, non-proliferation treaty, calling it useless after attacks on their sites. Tehran claims it's all defense, but U.S. intel has long flagged their uranium work as a path to bombs. Meanwhile, Trump touted talks making great progress, time just before Wall Street opened. Markets jumped on the deal, hopes, with Dow futures up 357 points or 0.8 percent and oil prices climbing too. Brent. Crude at $115 a barrel. U.S. crude at 101.

Iran's firing back with drone and missile strikes on oil sites and cities in the UAE, Israel, and Gulf bases hosting U.S. troops. Their fortifying carg island, which handles 90 percent of their oil exports, as Trump floats seizing it, like he says happened in Venezuela. Tensions stay sky high into week 5 of this war, with U.S. forces pouring in, and no sign of the straight budging yet, keeping global energy on edge.
