Trump threatens massive attack as oil prices spike
U.S. President Donald Trump is considering what he describes as the biggest military operation of the war to date, targeting Iran after Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis struck two Saudi Arabian oil tankers in the Red Sea. Global oil prices have spiked, with Brent crude topping 100 U.S. dollars a barrel, the highest since May. A recently announced U.S.-Saudi Arabia civil nuclear program deal is now in doubt, with Trump making it conditional on Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords to normalise diplomatic relations with Israel.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
