Fresh comments from a U.S. official suggest the Trump administration is focused on making Iran "pay" for alleged violations of the memorandum of understanding and recent deaths of U.S. soldiers. The official said military and economic pressure will continue until the President decides otherwise. Diplomatic talks are still ongoing.
The tough rhetoric keeps geopolitical risk elevated, particularly for crude oil and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Broader risk sentiment may also be affected.
