The latest U-turn by US Donald Trump in negotiations with Iran has thrown global financial markets into turmoil. According to the Guardian, Trump declared that the US and Iran were on the verge of a peace agreement. Oil prices fell, while stock markets gained.
Just hours earlier, Trump had threatened Iran with a massive attack. “Very hard” would be the blow against Tehran, he said – a threat that sent oil prices soaring and pushed stock markets into the red. Guardian describes the contradictory signals as a “Trump rollercoaster” keeping traders and investors worldwide on edge.
The chaotic communication from the White House creates a constant shift between hope and fear in the Middle East. While Trump invokes the imminent conclusion of a deal, the situation remains unclear. Iran has not yet officially responded to Trump’s latest statement.
EuroPulse reported on June 12, 2026, about Trump’s announcement that the Iran deal was close to completion while Tehran was still hesitating (https://europulse.today/trump-iran-deal-close-tehran-zogert/).
