Presidential candidate Donald Trump said that there is an “imminent strike” for the United States, after which the country would retaliate. According to Trump, the retaliation would be “right here” and would be called a “good document.”
Trump also said that the U.S. could “literally by tomorrow” carry out a strike, and the next stage would be called “denuclearisation.” The material also notes that Iran’s MZС has warned about the inevitability of retaliatory strikes by the U.S. if the country attacks. According to the report, the U.S. is preparing a “second corridor in the Strait of Hormuz.”
In parallel, in the next stage, a reaction is expected from the United States to the Iranian attacks. The U.S. military command says that a “second corridor” is being prepared in the Strait of Hormuz, and that this would allow the U.S. to increase its military presence in the region.
In addition, the material states that the U.S. Central Command has warned that it will use “creative and unconventional ways to pressure and punish Iran.” It also notes that CNN has reported that the U.S. has warned about the possibility of an attack if Iran does not comply with international obligations.
The material also says that the price of oil is rising, despite the fact that the U.S. has not yet announced any specific actions. It is noted that the U.S. has not yet confirmed the attack, but that the situation is still tense. In particular, the report says that oil prices have risen due to expectations of a possible escalation in the Middle East.
Oil prices have risen again: Brent is up to $84.39, while West Texas Intermediate is up to $80.95 as of 0055 GMT.
