Trump Considers Strike on Iran
Trump said he is thinking about a limited military strike on Iran. He says it would push Iran to make a nuclear deal.
The United States has amassed a large military buildup in the Middle East. It is preparing for a possible attack on Iran.
Oil markets worry a conflict could block the Strait of Hormuz. This waterway in the Middle East carries much of the world's oil. Blocking it would stop oil shipments worldwide.
Klear Note — The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow waterway between Iran and Oman. About one-third of world's oil passes through it daily. If blocked, global oil prices would spike and shortages could occur.
