Oil slides as US readies 82nd Airborne amid escalating Middle East crisis
Oil prices fell more than 5% after reports of Trump’s peace plan as Washington readies the 82nd Airborne Division for potential deployment in the Middle East, with tensions redrawn around Iran and Israel. Live updates include Israeli strikes in Lebanon, a drone attack at Kuwait’s airport, and claims of attacks on Iran’s Bushehr nuclear site, as Trump touts talk of a deal while officials warn of broader regional instability; the conflict context has already left hundreds of US troops wounded in the Iran theater.
