Trump Says Military Actions Against Iran “Must End,” Media Reveals US Military Has Prepared “Pre-Election Strike Plan,” Oil Prices Surge
Although Trump has stated that "the action must be wrapped up," whether the approach will be "soft or tough" remains undecided. More importantly, in order to boost the election campaign, the White House is planning a "limited strike" against Iran before the election, which is in stark contrast to the previous mainstream market expectation of "pre-election restraint."
