Svmuureports that U.S. President Donald Trump said on Fox News that he is close to ordering new strikes against Iran's infrastructure, including power plants and bridges, accusing Tehran of delaying negotiations and refusing to accept what Washington considers an already agreed-upon deal. Not long ago, Trump stated that Iran's military forces had been completely routed and warned its leaders that they had missed opportunities for diplomatic talks. He further described the country as "only talking, taking no action."
Analysts suggest these remarks come at a time when the U.S. and Iran, despite a ceasefire, are still conducting limited military strikes. Trump is growing increasingly frustrated with the negotiation process, believing Tehran is deliberately stalling an agreement. He has publicly stated that Iran rejected what he called a favorable deal and is now facing increasingly severe military consequences. Going forward, without an unexpected breakthrough or a dovish Federal Reserve, risk assets may continue to face pressure. (Jin Shi)
