Beware! Trump Threatens to Hit Iranian Infrastructure
US President Donald Trump has again issued a stern threat against Iran. In an interview with Fox News, Trump said the US would attack Iranian power plants and bridges next week if Tehran did not immediately return to the negotiating table.
This statement comes amid escalating US-Iran tensions after Washington reimposed a blockade on Iranian shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. The US has also launched new attacks to weaken Iran's ability to attack commercial vessels in the strategic shipping lane.
Trump emphasized that military pressure will continue until Iran is willing to negotiate. However, he stated that the energy sector would be the last target, indicating that the US is still trying to avoid direct attacks on Iran's energy infrastructure in the near future.
As a result, this threat could keep oil prices high, as the Strait of Hormuz is a vital route for global energy supplies. If attacks do spread to Iran's vital infrastructure, the risk of inflation could rise again and make the market more cautious about stocks, crypto, gold, oil, the dollar, and other risk assets.
