US President Donald Trump demanded Iran surrender as the war on the Islamic Republic raged for a seventh day, with the impact reverberating across global supply chains and energy markets.
Washington won’t negotiate an end to the conflict and will only accept “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Friday, raising fears of a protracted conflict. The US and its allies plan to select a “GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s),” he said.
US crude futures hit $90 a barrel and Brent crude neared $95 a barrel for the first time in almost two years during the session, with traders warning $100 could be on the horizon sooner rather than later. US oil is on track for the biggest weekly percentage gain in at least two decades.
