Trump shared a link on Truth Social to an article published by Open The Magazine. The article is headlined "Iran Oil Minister Resigns Amid US Blockade; Hamid Bovard Takes Interim Charge." The post carries no comment of its own.
Trump's public statements on Iran have shifted. As of October 23, they had moved between a pledge of no strike before the midterm elections and talk of another US operation against Iran and of seizing resources.
The shared article links the resignation to the US blockade of Iran. The post does not point to any new military step, escalation or easing.
In markets, Brent crude has slipped about 1 per cent from a six-month high, to $115.60 a barrel. Talks to reopen the Strait of Hormuz have stalled. Tehran says the US blockade of Iran must be lifted first.
