President Donald Trump, speaking to reporters at a NATO summit in Ankara, said he believed the memorandum of understanding with Iran was \u201cover,\u201d while suggesting peace talks might continue for now but calling them a \u201cwaste of time.\u201d The report said Brent crude rose 6% to $78 a barrel and European stocks fell 1.6% following his remarks, while the dollar strengthened and government bond yields climbed. U.S. Central Command said it struck more than 80 targets in Iran after three tankers were hit by projectiles, naming the Marshall Islands-flagged M\/T Al Rekayyat, the Saudi Arabia-flagged M\/T Wedyan, and the Liberian-flagged M\/T Cyprus Prosperity. Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it responded by targeting U.S. assets in neighboring countries as sirens sounded in Bahrain and Kuwait.<\/p>\n<h2>Polymarket Data: $39.8M Volume as \u201cYes\u201d Jumps 3 Points to 14.5% (No 85.5%)<\/h2>\n<p>On Polymarket, \u201cWill the U.S. invade Iran before 2027?\u201d last priced \u201cYes\u201d at 14.5% and \u201cNo\u201d at 85.5%, a 3.0-point move higher from 11.5% previously.
