Speaking moments ago, US President Donald Trump recently stated that Iran’s military capability is basically NIL and that the US controls Tehran’s airspace. He confidently remarked, “I don’t like to say this, but we’ve won this war.”
Trump also hinted at a goodwill gesture from Iran, describing it as a “present” related to oil and gas.
An Iranian source confirmed that the US initiated outreach to end the war. Trump mentioned that Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are leading negotiations.
The announcement of a 5-day ceasefire on Monday led to a 10% fall in the price of crude. Now, imagine what a “Mission Accomplished” moment for this war could produce in crude.
WTI crude oil futures are up almost 4% on the day to around $91.5 per barrel. It has pulled back from a 5% gain that was being registered before Trumps new messages, but the market doesn’t appear to be taking the bait of the war-coming-to-an-end messaging yet.
