President Trump said Friday that oil prices will rise only if the US conducts a further strike on Iran, according to reports. He added that he considered destroying Iran multiple times but stopped because Tehran is afraid of US power.
President Trump's latest remarks, reported Friday evening, add to a series of threats against Iran documented by The Zioneer. In June, Trump threatened to 'wipe out' Iran's power plants (The Zioneer, June 10), and in July he warned of further strikes following an attack on US forces (The Zioneer, July 29). The current statement, circulating on Telegram, conditions further military action on oil prices and reiterates Trump's view that Iran fears US power.
