Trump says Iran war oil spike will \u2018drop like a rolling stone\u2019 once fighting ends, even as crude stays above $100 and crypto trades through the turmoil.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Trump is again trying to sell markets on the idea that the Iran war\u2013driven oil spike is temporary, even as crude trades comfortably above the three\u2011digit threshold. In new comments flagged by Jinshi Finance, he told PBS reporters the US is \u201cdoing very well\u201d on Iran, calling the budget impact of the conflict \u201cnegligible\u201d because Tehran is \u201cinvolved in terrorism.\u201d He insisted that \u201conce the war is over, oil prices will drop like a rolling stone,\u201d echoing earlier statements that the surge in crude is a \u201csmall price to pay\u201d for dismantling Iran\u2019s nuclear program.<\/p>\n

Trump also claimed he has deliberately held back from targeting key civilian energy infrastructure, saying he \u201cleft a lot of infrastructure in Tehran\u201d and could destroy the country\u2019s power plants \u201cin an hour\u201d but is trying to avoid a years\u2011long reconstruction process and deeper social trauma. He added that the US has kept a \u201c100 yards\u201d buffer around \u201ceverything related to oil facilities,\u201d and specifically cited Kharg Island, a major Iranian export hub, saying he chose not to blow up its pipelines because \u201cit would take years to connect them.\u201d At the same time, he warned he would still \u201cstrike again,\u201d signalling that escalation risk remains firmly on the table.<\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n Those comments follow days of market turmoil as Iran\u2011related supply fears pushed benchmark crude above 100 per barrel and forced insurers to reprice risk in and around the Strait of Hormuz. Trump has repeatedly framed the situation as a trade\u2011off, arguing that short\u2011term pain at the pump is acceptable if it neutralizes Iran\u2019s ability to threaten global shipping and regional stability. For now, that narrative appears to be holding with parts of his domestic base, but it does little to change the underlying reality for refiners, airlines, or import\u2011dependent economies that are now exposed to higher input costs and tighter margins.<\/p>\n Crypto markets, by contrast, are digesting the conflict with relative composure. Bitcoin (BTC) is changing hands near $73,800, up roughly 5.8% over the last 24 hours, with a 24\u2011hour range between about $69,460 and $73,770 and turnover above $55 billion. Ethereum trades around $2,200, higher by roughly 6.8% on the day, after swinging between about $2,042 and $2,200 in the same period. That mix of elevated volatility and net gains has reinforced the \u201cdigital macro hedge\u201d narrative some funds are leaning into, even as skeptics point out that BTC and ETH continue to trade like high\u2011beta risk assets whenever energy, rates, or war headlines surprise.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Trump says Iran war oil spike will \u2018drop like a rolling stone\u2019 once fighting ends, even as crude stays above $100 and crypto trades through the turmoil.
