Deep Tide TechFlow message, April 02, in a nationwide televised address on Thursday, Trump outlined in detail the military achievements of the “epic fury action.” He said: “The U.S. military achieved a swift and decisive victory. The core strategic objectives are close to being accomplished. In the entire history of human warfare, there has never been any enemy that suffered such clearly defined and devastating large-scale losses in just a few short weeks.” He reiterated: “Iran’s capability to launch missiles and drones has been significantly weakened. We will never allow Iran to have nuclear weapons.”

On energy, Trump still said: “We don’t need oil from the Middle East. Partly thanks to Venezuela’s oil and natural gas, the United States no longer depends on the Middle East at all. And the recent rise in gasoline prices in the U.S. is a ‘temporary’ phenomenon. Oil production will soon increase substantially. The U.S. has never been so well prepared economically.” Regarding the Strait of Hormuz, which the market is most worried about, Trump still did not provide a timetable for when it would be opened: “We didn’t need the Strait of Hormuz in the past, and we don’t need it now. Once the conflict ends, the strait will naturally open.” (Jin Ten)
