Tensions rise as Trump weighs military options against Iran, impacting global oil markets.
  • President Trump indicates a decision on potential military strikes against Iran within 10 days.
  • Rising tensions have already pushed U.S. crude oil prices up by 1.9%.
  • U.S. envoys held talks with Iran in Geneva, but significant disagreements remain.
  • A major U.S. military buildup is underway in the Middle East, heightening concerns.

A Decision Looms, A Path Unclear

Hmm, a decision President Trump will make, yes. In ten days, know we will if strike Iran we must. "So now may we have to take it a step further, or we may not," says he. Like a game of sabacc, this is. Risky, hmm. Making a deal, perhaps? Or bad things happen, he says. Fear, I sense.

Oil Prices Rise, Fear They Do

Fear, it is a path to the dark side. And to higher oil prices, hmm. U.S. crude, up it goes, 1.9%. Global benchmark Brent, up as well. Fear of conflict, this is. Disrupt crude flows, a war could. Remember, always, to look beneath the surface, as perhaps EPA Revokes Endangerment Finding A Scientific Setback or Just Bazinga and assess any political moves.

Talks in Geneva, Progress Slow

Talks in Geneva, held they were. Envoys Witkoff and Kushner, with Iran, they spoke. Red lines, set by Trump, not addressed they were, says Vice President Vance. Still far apart, are they. Patience, young Padawans, patience.

Military Might, Growing It Is

A buildup, underway in the Middle East it is. The USS Abraham Lincoln, there it is. Another carrier, on the way. Prepared, are we? Hope, there is still. But ready, we must be. A powerful force, is the military.

Arguments for Action, Many There Are

Arguments for a strike, the White House speaks of. Progress in Geneva, some made. But still far apart, Iran and the U.S. Balance, we must seek. Act rashly, we must not. Think, before we act.

Strait of Hormuz, Worries It Brings

The Strait of Hormuz, a key chokepoint it is. Military exercises, Iran held. War, could disrupt flows. Oil traders, worried they are. Control your fear, you must. Anxiety leads to the dark side.
