President Trump said Saturday he is holding off on a fresh Iran strike to allow time for a deal to halt Tehran's nuclear program and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Oil markets remain tense as Iran warned of decisive retaliation and Brent crude has already risen 24 percent in July 2026.
President Trump has tied a newly signed US-Saudi civilian nuclear cooperation deal to Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords and normalising ties with Israel. The agreement, signed under US nuclear law, could include uranium enrichment on Saudi soil, raising proliferation concerns among lawmakers and experts.
The U.S. has struck bridges near a key Iranian port, following President Trump's explicit threat to target civilian infrastructure unless Iran returned to nuclear or diplomatic negotiations. The escalation raises oil market risk and threatens wider regional instability.
President Trump declared the Iran ceasefire "over" and ordered new U.S. retaliatory strikes after Iranian forces attacked unarmed commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump added he is "not sure" he wants a deal with Iran, closing off near-term diplomatic options and raising oil market risk.
President Trump is expected to announce at this week's NATO summit in Ankara that he is ready to restore Turkey's access to F-35 fighter jets, reversing a ban he imposed over fears Russia could exploit Turkey's involvement to gather stealth technology data.
President Trump declared the US-Iran ceasefire "over" at a NATO summit after Iran attacked bases hosting American forces in Kuwait and Bahrain. The announcement sharply raises the risk of direct US military retaliation and could move global oil and risk markets fast.

A credible deal would remove a major oil-price risk premium and could add Iranian crude supply back to global markets.
President Trump has halted planned strikes on Iran, saying negotiations are nearing a result as Tehran reviews a US deal proposal. The pause centers on a threatened strike against Kharg Island, Iran's main oil export terminal, which was used as diplomatic leverage.
Oil prices slipped while stocks edged higher as traders awaited President Trump's decision on a potential US-Iran nuclear deal. A completed agreement could return Iranian crude to global markets, pressuring oil prices even as reduced geopolitical risk supports equities.

President Trump declared the U.S.-Iran ceasefire is "on life support" after both sides exchanged fire over the weekend, calling Iran's peace proposal "garbage" and "unacceptable." A full breakdown raises immediate risks for Persian Gulf security and global oil prices.
