What happened

Well supportedReported by 20 independent outlets

Donald Trump declared that the conflict with Iran was 'militarily over' and suggested there was positive momentum in negotiations to end the Middle East conflict, though he maintained the US was 'locked and loaded' if circumstances changed. However, when Donald Trump vowed to resume bombing Tehran, the benchmark Brent crude oil price climbed past $115.90. Separately, Donald Trump announced actions aimed at driving down oil and diesel prices, even as crude oil rose to $106 per barrel.
