Trump's statement on Iran: At this stage, it doesn't seem very likely that we will attack

President Donald Trump said the U.S. military is ready to act if Middle East developments change, but that a strike on Iran is "not very likely" at this stage. The remarks signal a pause in escalation after a period of heightened tension between Washington and Tehran. Oil markets have been sensitive to the standoff, with traders watching for any disruption to Gulf crude flows. Investors will focus next on whether the two sides return to negotiations or whether fresh incidents revive the threat of military action.
