TechFlow News, May 26: The U.S. Central Command stated that U.S. and Israeli aircraft attacked multiple Iranian vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. This occurred just hours after Trump said negotiations with Tehran on a temporary agreement were making progress. The renewed fighting underscores the fragility of the U.S.-Iran ceasefire agreement.
In Tuesday’s early Asian trading session, S&P 500 index futures declined following this latest development, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil prices edged higher, and gold initially dipped slightly before stabilizing. Trump is currently facing pressure from hardliners within the U.S. on Iran policy—including Republican Senator Lindsey Graham—who argue the emerging agreement concedes too much to Tehran. (Jinshi)
