Donald Trump warns of possible new strike on Iran and says Ukraine war is not over

U.S. President Donald Trump said a further attack on Iran could occur tonight and reiterated that the war in Ukraine “hasn’t ended,” stressing that the core issue is nuclear weapons. His remarks sparked a surge in market anxiety: U.S. stock indexes fell sharply, with the Dow dropping over 500 points before closing down about 0.9%, and oil prices jumped more than 6% to near‑$80 a barrel. Analysts linked the volatility to both the threatened Middle‑East escalation and the anticipation of the Federal Reserve’s minutes release. The statements also amplified concerns about global energy supplies and heightened demand for safe‑haven assets such as gold and Bitcoin.
