President Trump announced the bombing of three nuclear sites in Iran, escalating tensions. Experts warn that Iran's retaliation options could be disastrous, risking regime survival. The conflict primarily involves Iran and Israel, with Trump's actions shifting the U.S. stance to offensive operations. Iran's Foreign Minister claims Tehran reserves the right to respond. Energy markets are alert, as potential disruptions in Iranian oil supplies could lead to skyrocketing crude prices, which may exceed $120 per barrel if the Strait of Hormuz is closed, impacting global markets significantly.
"Many of Iran's retaliatory options are the strategic equivalent of a suicide bombing," he said in a series of posts on X. "They can strike US embassies and bases, attack oil facilities in the Persian Gulf, mine the Strait of Hormuz, or rain missiles on Israel-but the regime may not survive the blowback."
Energy markets are poised to suffer a major jolt as investors digest the implications of the U.S. bombing Iran, a top oil exporter.
