Donald Trump commented on the recent military actions by Israel against Iran, explaining that it stemmed from Tehran's refusal to accept his conditions for a nuclear deal.
Trump's Demands on Iran
President Donald Trump stated from the White House that Iran was struck by Israel because it did not accept the terms of a nuclear deal he offered two months ago. He highlighted that two months ago he gave Iran a 60-day ultimatum to 'make a deal.' 'Today is day 61,' he wrote.
Iran's Response and Regional Escalation
In response to the Israeli strikes, Iran launched nearly 100 drones at Israeli targets. An Israeli military spokesperson confirmed that their defense systems were intercepting the drones. A state of emergency was declared in Israel as tensions escalated further in the region.
Markets Amid Conflict
Markets reacted immediately to the escalation: oil prices surged 8.48% to $73.81 per barrel, while gold prices increased by 1.3%. These shifts demonstrate how markets react to geopolitical instability.
The situation in the region remains tense, and its development may significantly impact international relations and global financial markets.
