Trump Orders Bombing Start Tuesday, Then Schedules Negotiations: Plot Twist!
KEY POINTS
- •Brent crude oil climbed above $110 per barrel on Sunday amid mixed signals about the Iran conflict.
- •Trump threatened to bomb Iranian infrastructure starting Tuesday but also revealed 'deep negotiations' were underway.
- •Israel struck Iran’s largest petrochemical complex; meanwhile, regional drone attacks hit oil sites in Kuwait and Bahrain.
While Brent crude oil smugly danced past $110 a barrel Sunday, the world got a front-row seat to Trump’s mixed messaging Olympics. The former president boldly threatened to bomb Iran's bridges and power plants starting Tuesday—because who needs subtlety? Yet, in an unexpected flex of diplomacy, he confided in Axios’ Barak Ravid that the U.S. is in 'deep negotiations' with Iran, proving even geopolitical chaos loves multitasking. Tehran offered Iraq an exclusive Strait of Hormuz VIP pass, but details are murkier than a Kardashian’s skincare routine. Meanwhile, U.S. gas prices nudged up 13 cents to $4.11 a gallon, enough to make your wallet cry. Oh, and bonus drama? Israel casually attacked Iran’s petrochemical palace in Mahshahr, while Kuwaiti and Bahraini oil sites endured drone strikes—because why not add fireworks? OPEC+ squabbled over a modest 206,000 barrel May boost, though those barrels are probably still buffering in the digital void as the Strait stays locked tighter than your ex’s DMs. Stay tuned for Trump’s Monday news gala. It promises more political juggling than a circus on fire.

(1 of 3)Trump’s diplomacy: Bomb Iran Tuesday but negotiate at Sunday brunch. Oil prices rise, gas grumbles, and Israel’s crashing the petrochemical party—geopolitics is just 2026’s version of reality TV gone nuclear.
Nothing says 'peace talks' like threatening bombs and diplomatic whispers simultaneously. Oil traded up $110 because apparently chaos is the new currency.
Trump’s Iran plan: cancel bridges, boost barrels, and leave Iraq confused whether it’s invited to the party or the apocalypse.
