President Donald Trump has stated he is seriously considering launching massive military strikes against Iran, potentially larger than previous operations such as the "Epic Fury" campaign. However, he emphasized that no final decision has been made and provided no deadline for a decision. Two other U.S. officials confirmed that no orders have been issued and no new directives have been given to the military. Trump noted that if he requested, Israel would join the conflict "within two minutes," but he added that U.S. action does not require allies. He also warned that Israeli involvement could trigger retaliatory measures from Iran. The remarks have heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, raising concerns about potential disruptions to oil supply and increased market volatility. Traders are closely monitoring developments, as any escalation could impact risk appetite and energy prices.
