Trump & Iran

Iran urged evacuations of ports in the UAE, accusing the US of using these locations to attack Karg Island. Despite no immediate attacks on key ports, debris from an intercepted drone sparked a fire at Fujairah. Iran’s foreign minister claimed US attacks from near Dubai. The US Central Command had no response. Iran has fired hundreds of missiles and drones. President Trump stated the US obliterated military assets on Karg Island and questioned Iran’s new Supreme Leader. Trump is unwilling to make a deal with Iran due to unsatisfactory terms. Oil prices are volatile, and Trump called on allies to secure the Strait of Hormuz.
