⚠️ Trump Escalates Pressure on Iran, Markets Remain Surprisingly CalmPresident Trump said the U.S. would hit Iran "very hard tonight" and claimed that, in the not-too-distant future,


Washington could take control of key Iranian oil infrastructure, including Kharg Island, the country's main oil export hub.
🔸 Kharg Island is one of Iran's most strategic economic assets, handling roughly 90% of the country's crude oil exports.
Analysts note that any attempt to physically control the island would likely require a significant military presence on the ground and could mark a major escalation of the conflict.
🔸 Despite the increasingly aggressive rhetoric, markets have remained relatively composed. Brent crude is still trading below $90 per barrel, suggesting investors either expect the situation to de-escalate or believe the risk of a major disruption to global oil supplies remains limited for now.
🔸 The lack of a stronger reaction may also reflect expectations that ongoing back-channel negotiations between Washington and Tehran could eventually prevent a broader regional conflict.
For now, the market appears to be treating the headlines as negotiation pressure rather than pricing in a full-scale disruption to Middle East oil exports.#trump $BTC #$GT $HYPE
