Trump threatens massive attack as oil prices spike
Published 2 weeks, 5 days ago
Description
U.S. President Donald Trump is considering what he describes as the biggest military operation of the war to date, targeting Iran after Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis struck two Saudi Arabian oil tankers in the Red Sea. Global oil prices have spiked, with Brent crude topping 100 U.S. dollars a barrel, the highest since May. A recently announced U.S.-Saudi Arabia civil nuclear program deal is now in doubt, with Trump making it conditional on Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords to normalise diplomatic relations with Israel.
