US President Donald Trump delivered a national address as the conflict with Iran continued to intensify as it has entered the second month. He cautioned the Iranian leadership with fresh warnings, applauded American forces for their role in 'Operation Epic Fury' and outlined his expectations on when the fighting could draw to a close. His remarks came at a time when disruptions at the Strait of Hormuz have persisted, with the vital oil route remaining largely inaccessible since the war began on February 28.

Global crude prices have climbed steadily in recent weeks, fuelling market volatility and sparking concerns over the broader impact on economic growth.
