This segment centers on Donald Trump’s repeated threats to strike Iran, his abrupt pullback, and the strategic uncertainty that follows. The broadcast says Trump claimed the strikes were ready to begin, then reversed course and said negotiations with Iran would continue. The panel reads this as a recurring Trump pattern: pressure Iran, hesitate, then try to preserve face by leaving military options open. A second major thread is the Strait of Hormuz. The show says Iran warned of a “muscular response,” that 26 ships crossed the strait in the last 24 hours, and that U.S. forces detected about a dozen Iranian naval mines there. The guests argue that Tehran is using Hormuz as a leverage point over global trade and energy flows, even if some of the claims are still partly rhetorical and hard to verify in real time. The discussion then widens to China and Russia. …
The immediate setup is headline-driven and fragile: any new Trump reversal, Iranian naval incident, or shipping disruption could reprice oil and risk assets quickly. Until there is firmer confirmation, this is a volatility event more than a clean trend.
Over the next few weeks, the market likely oscillates between escalation fears and de-escalation hopes, with the key test being whether Hormuz disruptions become operational rather than rhetorical. A sustained move would need either a real deal signal or clear evidence that shipping risk is becoming persistent.
The structural takeaway is that Hormuz remains a lasting geopolitical choke point for energy and freight, so Iranian leverage there will keep mattering even when no blockade materializes. More broadly, U.S.-China-Russia competition will continue to shape how energy flows are priced and politicized.
Trump said strikes on Iran were ready to begin, then backed off and kept negotiations open.
The transcript quotes Trump saying the strikes were ready and that negotiations continue after the pullback.
Iran is warning of a strong response and signaling leverage over the Strait of Hormuz.
The segment explicitly links Iranian warnings, naval mines, and traffic through Hormuz.

Les Taïwanais devraient-ils se sentir plus ou moins en sécurité après votre rencontre avec le président chinois?
Trump répond 'Neutre' et dit ne pas souhaiter que quelqu'un déclare son indépendance, ajoutant qu'il ne souhaite pas parcourir 15 000 km pour faire la guerre.
Est-ce que vous y voyez plus clair que nous sur les hésitations de Trump concernant l'Iran?
S.Dridi explique qu'on a l'impression d'un jour sans fin à la Maison-Blanche: Trump met la pression sur l'Iran, puis hésite, recule, et trouve des excuses. Il préférerait ne pas lancer les hostilités mais ne veut pas perdre la face. Le vice-président a résumé que Trump préfère un accord mais est prêt à frapper s'il n'obtient rien d'acceptable.
Est-ce qu'il y a des faucons dans l'entourage de Trump qui le poussent à finir le travail?
S.Dridi répond que les faucons se trouvent surtout à l'extérieur de la Maison-Blanche, comme le sénateur républicain L.Graham. À l'intérieur, une majorité préférerait que Trump trouve une porte de sortie, notamment sa cheffe de cabinet S.Wiles et J.D.Vance.
