Putin Sends Trump Clear Message After U.S. Strikes on Iran
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday condemned Israel and U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran. Iran sent Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to Moscow on Monday to lobby Putin for more support against Israel's act of war. 'The absolutely unprovoked aggression against Iran has no basis and no justification,' Putin said to Araghchi during the meeting. 'We have long-standing, good, reliable relations with Iran. Russia and Iran are old allies. And while Putin has offered mediation and rhetorical reassurance, he has stopped short of fully joining the war or offering more concrete assistance, likely due to fear of further alienating President Trump and the U.S. in the midst of his own war on Ukraine. On Sunday, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, a top Putin ally, noted in a series of X posts that 'a number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their own nuclear warheads.' This news, if true, could have cataclysmic implications. Iran is reportedly still weighing retaliation options against Israel and the United States. And how much actual support Russia can and will provide remains to be seen.

‘Everyone, Keep Oil Prices Down,' Trump Says Without Context
President Donald Trump issued a warning to keep oil prices down in a cryptic Truth Social post Monday that comes amid fears oil and gas prices could surge if Iran retaliates against U.S. strikes by shutting down the Strait of Hormuz. President Donald Trump returns to the White House prior to a meeting with his National Security ... More Council to discuss the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel on June 21, 2025 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Craig Hudson For The Washington Post via Getty Images) The Washington Post via Getty Images 'Everyone, keep oil prices down,' Trump said in an all-caps post, writing 'I'm watching! You're playing right into the hands of the enemy. Don't do it!' It's unclear who Trump was referring to, but it's possible he was addressing oil producers. In a subsequent post directed at the Department of Energy, Trump wrote 'DRILL, BABY, DRILL!!! And I mean NOW!!!' The Energy Department does not drill for oil, but manages the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and provides research and policy support related to oil production, among other industry-adjacent functions. Oil prices were flat Monday following the U.S. military's surprise attacks on three Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend, but analysts warned prices could surge if Iran retaliates by closing the Strait of Hormuz, a key transportation route for oil and gas that links the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Sea. 30%. That's how much oil prices could rise, to up to $110 per barrel, if Iran moves to close the Strait and oil flow declines 50% for at least one month, Goldman Sachs cautioned Monday. Prices for international oil were flat Monday at $77 per barrel by 10 a.m. EDT. Key Background Iran has vowed to respond to the attack, with its Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi tweeting early Sunday that it 'reserves all options,' calling the attack 'outrageous' and vowing that it would 'have everlasting consequences.' Iranian parliament has approved a plan to potentially shut down the Strait, Iranian state media reported after the U.S. attacks Saturday. A quarter of global oil and 20% of liquefied natural gas is transported through the 90-mile waterway, according to The New York Times, which notes most of the oil that passes through the Strait goes to Asia. Iran would likely shut down the Strait by lacing it with mines, requiring the U.S. military to engage in a potentially dangerous demining operation, The Times notes.
