Trump officials fear new Iran strikes could worsen global economy

Senior Trump administration officials fear the president's anticipated renewal of strikes on Iran could further damage the U.S. and global economies, according to a Zeteo report published Friday. The Pentagon has prepared for resumed combat operations, and Trump is reportedly considering several days of strikes. Officials anonymously expressed skepticism that attacks would force Iranian concessions, warning of economic fallout from the ongoing oil crisis and Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has threatened immediate retaliation targeting Middle East oil facilities, submarine cables, and AI data centers. Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, stated any conflict would include a broader plan to strike economic infrastructure enabling U.S. attacks.
