[Trump's Four-Hour Threat, Explosion on Kharg Island, Oil Prices React Calmly] Odaily Planet Daily News: Following reports from Iran's Mehr News Agency about an explosion on Kharg Island, oil prices saw a slight uptick. During a Monday press conference, Trump stated that if Iran fails to meet the demands by the 8 PM Eastern Time deadline, the U.S. might destroy all bridges to Iran's power plants within four hours. This escalation could likely lead to a surge in energy prices. Additionally, The Wall Street Journal reported that negotiators are pessimistic about Iran meeting Trump's demands to allow ships free passage through the Strait of Hormuz. However, oil prices have yet to experience significant fluctuations. Perhaps the market does not believe Trump will adhere to his deadline. AJ Bell analyst Dan Coatsworth commented, "Either Washington or Tehran will make concessions, which could trigger a sharp rebound in the stock market and a drop in energy prices. Or, the situation could escalate significantly, causing various impacts on financial markets." However, there is also a third outcome. He added, "Another possibility is that the deadline gets extended, and the market will once again go through a period of uncertainty, trying to gauge the latest moves from both the U.S. and Iran."
