Trump Says US Needs No Iran Deal; Brent Spikes to $96 on Hormuz Fears

President Trump reversed his earlier signal of nearing peace with Iran, declaring the US no longer needs a deal and asserting control over Iran's money and the Strait of Hormuz. This hawkish pivot, three days after suggesting the war was ending, spiked Brent to $96, underscoring extreme market sensitivity to any shift in Iran conflict rhetoric. The statement raises the risk of renewed escalation and supply disruption, though it may be posturing ahead of negotiations.
