Trump’s Sunday Warning: Deal or War On Cards!

Global tensions have once again gained momentum as US President Donald Trump made a provocative statement against Iran after casting his ballot in midterm elections on Saturday. He issued a strong warning that the American military could launch fresh attacks against Iran very soon even as a deal is on cards this Sunday. 

Speaking to reporters in Florida, Trump left the world guessing about military plans by saying an attack could happen “maybe tomorrow”. The aggressive statements have put international markets on edge, especially regarding oil supplies and shipping security across the Middle East. 

Trump claimed that Iranian leaders are desperate to make a deal to reopen the strategic waterway Strait of Hormuz. But, he questioned whether Tehran would actually follow any agreement. Meanwhile, Iranian officials strongly denied making any peace proposals or offering deals through mediators to lift the US naval blockade. 

Last month, Trump warned that they are planning to drop the Mother of all Bombs on Iran if no deal is reached after the midterms. So, tension is prevailing all over the globe on how will both sides react after a brief pause in military escalation. 

It has been 8 months since the war between US and Iran started. The choking of Strait of Hormuz and repeated break of ceasefire agreements have caused huge damage to the global energy supplies. The crude oil prices fluctuated rapidly with every political update in these 8 months. 

Countries around the world are watching the situation closely to see if diplomacy can prevent an all-out military escalation. As the weekend progresses, citizens and leaders alike are waiting anxiously to see if Trump’s latest warning turns into reality.
