Kabul Times News | Report: Abdul Haq Hamidi

Statements attributed to US President Donald Trump about Iran and the possibility of continued military action have been widely reflected in the media and global markets.

According to these reports, Trump claimed that the United States "attacked Iran with force yesterday" and that such attacks are likely to continue in the future. However, as of the time of writing, no official and independent source has confirmed the occurrence of such attacks.

The statements also stated that Iran must reach a nuclear agreement; an agreement that, according to Trump, will prevent Tehran from obtaining nuclear weapons. He stressed that Washington wants to reach a "meaningful and workable" agreement with Iran.

In another part of his speech, Trump referred to what he called "America's determination to target Iranian infrastructure," without providing further details.

He also claimed that “millions of barrels of oil have been obtained from Iran without its knowledge,” a claim for which no specific explanation or document has been provided so far, and which has not been confirmed by independent sources.

Simultaneously with the publication of these statements, reports of an increase in the price of US crude oil (WTI) and Brent oil have been published in global markets. Energy experts believe that increased geopolitical tensions in the Middle East usually have a direct impact on oil market fluctuations.

However, as of the time of publication of this report, no official institution or independent international source has confirmed the occurrence of new US attacks against Iran, and the veracity of the claims made is still shrouded in uncertainty.

Observers believe that any escalation of tensions between Washington and Tehran could have far-reaching consequences for regional security and global markets.
