Trump warns Iran of stronger strikes if it retaliates
President Trump says Iran would face additional strikes at a much higher level if it retaliates following the latest U.S. attack.
The warning raises the risk of another escalation cycle between Washington and Tehran and increases uncertainty around Middle East security.
For energy markets, further retaliation could increase the geopolitical premium in $WTI, particularly if the conflict threatens regional production infrastructure or shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
