Donald Trump claimed near-victory in the Iran war during a low-energy White House address to the nation last night that sent oil prices soaring and global stocks sliding.
The President spoke for just under 20 minutes and didn't announce any major developments - including whether ground troops would need to be deployed in the Gulf or who would take over leadership of the pariah state.
Instead, he repeated that Operation Epic Fury would conclude 'shortly', noting that the US's military objectives were 'nearing completion' before vowing to bomb Iran 'back to the Stone Ages' if it didn't do a deal.
Trump's address did nothing to reassure global oil markets spooked by the near-closure of the Strait of Hormuz. He again urged countries such as the UK who 'can't get fuel' to find 'courage' and 'go to the Strait and just take it.'
