Regarding the joint US-Israeli military operation against Iran, President Donald Trump and his administration have so far provided conflicting messages and explanations. And this uncertainty about the war’s timeframe and eventual objectives was exemplified on Monday, the tenth day of an operation that has unsettled markets and allies.
The American president started speed-dialing reporters in an apparent attempt to calm tensions following a turbulent morning that saw oil prices soar and US stock market indexes decline. But even when pressed for more information, his remarks lacked precision.When asked about rising oil prices, he responded, “I have a plan for everything, okay?” to a New York Post reporter. “I have a strategy for every situation. You will be overjoyed.”
He stated that the conflict “is very complete, pretty much” to CBS News.We’re well ahead of plan,” he continued. Trump responded, “I don’t know, it depends,” when asked if the operation would thus conclude soon. I’m the only one thinking about wrapping up. At least in terms of the economy, his phone binge was successful. The price of a barrel of oil, which had earlier in the day touched $120, fell below $90 as stock markets surged.
Trump declared a few days ago that he would wait for Iran’s “unconditional surrender” before ending the conflict. However, following his remarks on Monday, it seemed possible that a military operation that has caused chaos in the Middle East and resulted in the almost total suspension of shipping through the Straits of Hormuz might soon come to an end.
