President Trump Says He Will Soon Make a Decision on Iran

President Trump said Tuesday that he will soon make a decision on Iran, putting a potential change in U.S. policy toward Tehran in focus for global markets and digital assets.

Trump also criticized the actions of the Houthi rebels, describing them as extremely vicious.

He added that he had spoken with Saudi Arabia’s crown prince, without providing details about the conversation or outlining the decision he plans to make on Iran.

The comments come as investors watch developments involving Iran, Saudi Arabia and the Houthis for possible effects on energy markets and broader risk sentiment. Trump did not give a timeline beyond saying the decision would come soon.
