Oil Prices Fall As White House Signals Will Maintain A Ceasefire With Iran Unless American Troops Are Killed<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

President Trump in an early Thursday morning Truth Social post has said the United States is “in the middle of my final negotiations to end the War”<\/strong> – while blasting the Republicans who voted the night prior to limit war powers “GRANDSTANDERS” and “unpatriotic”.<\/p>\n

Even though Iran is denying that any direct negotiations are taking place, following a big flare-up this week in new tit-for-tat fighting which involved Iran sending more missiles and drones on Gulf states, especially Kuwait, the reference to ‘final negotiations’ was possibly enough to get oil prices to react, with a drop in crude.<\/p>\n

There was also a report<\/a> that the White House intends to maintain a ceasefire with Iran unless American troops are killed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As for the House vote, it was seen as a rare direct rebuke of Trump and the fact that this war – which the American public was promised would be a ‘short’ military action of possibly a few ‘days’ or ‘weeks’ – is now approaching 100 days, and the war powers\u00a0passed 215-208, with the four Republicans joining all Democrats in voting yes being Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Tom Barrett of Michigan and Warren Davidson of Ohio.<\/p>\n

Trump’s new apparent strategy to just wait things out with no new planned military attacks has been featured in The Wall Street Journal as follows<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

President\u00a0Trump\u00a0has told aides privately that he would consider ending the ceasefire with\u00a0Iran\u00a0if Tehran kills American troops, U.S. officials said<\/strong>, insisting that the weekslong pause in airstrikes remains intact <\/strong>despite a steady stream of violent skirmishes.<\/em><\/p>\n

The president\u2019s reluctance to reignite the war suggests he might be willing to withstand smaller flare-ups for weeks\u2014or even months<\/strong>\u2014to avoid a broader conflict in the Middle East.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And Rubio appeared to second this in fielding questions about this week’s violence:<\/p>\n

\n

Secretary of State\u00a0Marco Rubio\u00a0described the tit-for-tat attacks as purely defensive in nature and not a renewed outbreak of full-scale war.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThey are happening in response to an Iranian action,\u201d Rubio said in a House hearing Wednesday. \u201cIf they don\u2019t shoot at those ships, we don\u2019t shoot, but we have to respond.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

More evidence of Trump’s apparently high tolerance for what he deems a violation of ceasefire:<\/p>\n

In Lebanon, there is some remotely positive news, with Lebanon \u200cand Israel \u200bsaying had \u2060agreed \u200bto implement \u2060a ceasefire during talks in Washington and overseen by the US; however, once again the deal is contingent on Hezbollah agreeing to the ceasefire.<\/p>\n

“That cease-fire is conditional on Hezbollah also stopping fighting, but in theory, the news helps to take out a key sticking point in the U.S.-Iran talks that was holding up a deal. So that\u2019s seen oil prices reverse a run of three [days of] consecutive gains,” Deutsche Bank analyst Henry Allen stated in a research note.<\/p>\n

Trump rages at House’s successful War Powers vote, which could portend a political shake-up going into this Fall’s midterm elections:<\/p>\n
