| Trump & Ali Khamenei |
President Trump set a two-week deadline for US attack on Iran, heightening regional tensions. He said negotiations could still change his decision. However, the warning underscored a credible threat of US military action.
Oil Market and Geopolitical Impact
Oil futures fell as markets reacted to the US attack on Iran deadline. August Brent dropped 2.7% to $76.72/bl in Asian trading. Meanwhile, traders prepared for volatility amid holiday closures. As a result, energy and shipping sectors braced for price swings.
Translating rhetoric into action remains uncertain. Trump has issued similar two-week ultimatums before without follow-through. Therefore, supply chain managers should track both political signals and market data closely.
