CryptoWorld News: U.S. President Trump announced on Thursday that the United States will strike Iran again and threatened that "at some point" it will take control of the country's energy infrastructure, including the key oil export hub, Hormuz Island. The two-month ceasefire agreement between the U.S. and Iran showed cracks over the weekend, as a U.S. military helicopter was shot down, leading to mutual retaliatory strikes. Trump's remarks threaten to escalate the conflict further, potentially derailing the slow-moving peace negotiations. Some agencies point out that occupying Hormuz Island would likely require the use of U.S. ground troops, which would put soldiers at greater risk and pose political challenges for the president, as the war becomes increasingly unpopular domestically.

If Harlock Island really gets occupied, oil prices are probably going to skyrocket, and my long positions are already craving and impatient.

Ground troops entering? This script is so familiar; Iraq's mess hasn't even been cleaned up yet.
