Trump Touts Oil Release Amid Iran Conflict, Vows to Finish the Job

• President Trump announced massive emergency oil reserve releases by the IEA and US to ease energy prices, vowing to "finish the job" in Iran.
• The IEA approved its largest-ever release of 400 million barrels, while the US plans to release 172 million barrels from its emergency reserves.
• Despite releases, Brent crude jumped above $100 a barrel amid escalating attacks on oil tankers and energy infrastructure in the Middle East.
• The Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed due to ongoing conflict, with a one-month closure potentially pushing Brent to $105 and three months to $164.
• Attacks continued across the region, including drone strikes on Dubai International Airport, as US and Israel maintain strikes in Iran, leading to over 2,440 deaths.
