Trump: for every Iranian attack on a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, the US will destroy one bridge or power plant
Trump just posted a new standing order. Every time Iran shoots at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, the US will bomb and destroy one bridge or power plant, including ones in Tehran.
This is a completely new approach. Instead of threatening a massive strike, he's setting up a tit for tat policy. Every attack gets a direct response.
For context, the June interim deal has fallen apart. Iran has been attacking commercial ships again. Secretary of State Rubio confirmed Iran has effectively killed the agreement. Nearly 100 US service members have been injured in Iranian attacks this month alone.
This war is now nearly 5 months old. Deals keep falling through and the escalation cycle just keeps going.
How much longer can markets handle this?
