KEY POINTS FROM TRUMP TONIGHT
TL;DR: In reality we have 4 - 6 more weeks of war, we are likely to send in troops because we have degraded Iran (buy troops in Iran on Polymarket), Europe is being threatened (bullish Euro defense stocks), if we do send in troops that is good for reopening of hormuz (bearish oil)

Exit Timeline: U.S. forces will begin leaving "within two to three weeks."
Military Success: U.S. has already "annihilated" the Iranian Navy and destroyed approximately 80% of their missile launchers.
Nuclear Goal: Primary mission (stop Iran from having nukes) is effectively complete as their infrastructure is "in ruins."
Strait of Hormuz: Trump demanded that Hormuz be "open, free, and clear" before any official ceasefire is considered.
NATO Ultimatum: He threatened to withdraw the U.S. from NATO, criticizing allies for not contributing enough to the security of global oil routes.
Message to Iranians: He urged "Iranian patriots" to take back their country, suggesting the U.S. would offer immunity to those who defect from the regime.
Energy Stance: Trump reiterated that the U.S. is energy independent and is only securing the region as a "favor" to ungrateful allies.
"Stone Age" Warning: He warned of a "most punishing blow" in the coming days if the regime does not surrender immediately.
