Trump: Iran is dying to make a deal with us

Former President Trump made public comments asserting Iran is “dying to make a deal” and claiming the U.S. has severely degraded Iran’s nuclear, drone and missile capabilities while curbing its oil revenue. Markets reacted positively: the S&P 500 hit a fresh record high, rising about 1.1% to 7,216, with the piece noting further small buying in equities following the remarks. The story is short, focused on the political comments and the immediate bullish market reaction rather than in-depth analysis.
