WSJ: Trump Cancels Iran Strikes, Says Tehran Has 'Approved' Talks
Trump cancels Iran strikes after Tehran approves talks, but US naval blockade and threats to seize its oil and gas markets remain.
- Cancellation of military strikes reduces immediate geopolitical tail risks for the broader market.
- Diplomatic negotiations signal a potential de-escalation in Middle East tensions.
- The ongoing US naval blockade continues to disrupt global energy supply chains.
- Aggressive rhetoric regarding seizing Iran's oil and gas markets creates long-term uncertainty.
President Trump said he has cancelled planned strikes on Iran after Tehran's leadership and other parties negotiating a deal to end the conflict approved "discussions and final points."
The ongoing discussions "have been brought to the highest level of Iranian leadership and approved," Trump wrote in a Thursday afternoon post on X, hours after threatening to
strike Iran "VERY HARD."
"Discussions and final points have been, in both concept and great detail, approved by all parties involved," Trump said.
The U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports will remain in effect until the "transaction" is finalized, Trump said, noting that "time and place of the signing" would soon be announced
Trump had earlier threatened to strike Iran "VERY HARD" again Thursday night and take "total control" of the country's oil and gas industry, a sign that he has abandoned the diplomatic route and is aiming to force Tehran into a nuclear deal it has resisted for months.
The U.S. "in the not too distant future" would take Kharg Island, which sits off Iran's southern coast and is the country's main oil export hub, Trump added in a Truth Social post, "and assume total control of their Oil and Gas Markets, much like we have with Venezuela, which is working out brilliantly for both Venezuela and the United States of America."

Technically, if they use the whole country foreign reserve to buy puts before close, and launch rockets to israel on Sunday, they gonna make bank on Monday?
I would if I were them
Dude, you're so right and you're making me so depressed. Just stop
You're giving him a pass on insider trading? I'll give you some insider information. I want you to trade on it and then let's see if we both go to jail. I bet we will. But yet you'll give a pass to Trump on that?
So you're saying that we little people need to obey the law and suffer the consequences when we break it but Trump and his friends can rig the system and you're OK with that? What... because it's tradition?
Conservative believe in small government he is spending money like a madman on all kinds of Isht that we don't need. He got no competing bids on the reflecting pool. What homeowner does that?
He wants to build a ballroom that's gonna cost $1 billion dollars. He wants to build an arch that cost even more money. He goes through money like poop through a goose. How is that conservative? We all wanna have a good president. He just isn't it. And I'm sorry but if a guy lies about his golf score right in front of you when you play with him, I can't trust him on the big things.
The list is know that the morning after the announcement of bullshit, the news is priced in by 11am. Then calls.
Even a single US citizen is too many.
Market manipulation and the MIC astronaut with a gun meme.
He is so fucking exhausting
Give me an example of Biden and Obama committing insider trading. You claim both sides are doing this. Please use facts and examples 2 month old account.
This is so true its sad.
He pumped it for elons ipo.
Yes, it is tough and very frustrating to watch.
Absolutely agree!
If the IRGC falls it 100% improves the situation of the people there. Those tactics are aimed at destroying the IRGC.
he realized algos nerfed their reaction to ”talks progressing” but are still sensitive to “strikes canceled”
Trump’s desperate for the mid terms coming up
Just in time for SpaceX IPO 🤌🏼
crushed my oil plays
They are going to suspend the shenanigans until the World Cup ends. Enyoj your bull run until the final match.
Yeah for the 100th time this month
Costs him nothing, he and his buddies rake billions.
The only problem with that theory is that Iran is also massively hurting from the blockade and the standoff. It cuts both ways and Iran has drastically less tools and economics to play chicken. Both countries want out at this point but nobody wants to lose face is the issue so the game of chicken keeps going.
man, trump's posts always keep things interesting lol. feels like every tweet or x post has the market doing backflips. i keep an eye on his posts with the ThetaPal trump tracker to see if there's any immediate market-moving info. you definitely gotta stay on your toes with this kinda news, especially with how quickly things can flip.
Just like a criminal speaking on behalf of the victim.
Felon Tusk must have called to keep it calm for the IPO.
Do explain. How do Trump’s manipulations boost demand?
Also, this news seems real? There have been several reports that the MOU is either ready to be signed or close to ready. Publicly, Iran says it’s not final yet, but at least one report says Iran has approved the MOU. I’m still not sure how much I believe, from Trump and Iran.
Such a clown
I think it's safe to say literally every other president did not inside trade with their buddies. What a world you live in.
How has he impacted Iran? He opened the door for them to do the one thing you're now complimenting him for doing (even though nothing but death and mayhem has been accomplished) by saying he's keeping them from getting nukes.
yes
100% just buy the dip
No clue! I'm sure there's a tool-free number to call to find out.
He needs the stock market to be green tomorrow for SPCX. And he'll take all the credit.
The Pump is in!
As the TACO turns.
There’s a reason the pdf was, and still is, the main talking point around JE. I’m not going to spell it all out for you, but I’ll leave you these bread crumbs….
American Conspiracy: The Octopus Murders (Netflix)
Eric Weinstein’s latest talk on JRE (Confirms Maxwell’s ties to Promis software sales….daddy Maxwell, not the daughter) + his conversations surrounding JE with Chris Williamson and on JRE in previous years
Money laundering
My money’s on the rest of the files not being released having more to do with the international bankers and various 3-letter agencies from around the globe, and much less to do with pdf in general and damning information about DJT specifically. But it’s your drum…..go on and beat it if it feels good
Coward. So much smoke but can’t be any fire because it’ll hurt your fragile PDF defender heart. Figured as much from your lot! LOL
That’s right. Dont respond. Run hide like the rest of the PDF defenders. Hahahahaha
Iranian bots complaining on Reddit were wrong.
Hitting their two water tanks was highly effective.
I asked what your (or their) claim is. No more and no less. There is no statement about me or my opinion included.
How many times has he said "it's not a war" and referred to it as a war?
