Oil prices sank and equities rallied Tuesday following a wild day of swings that came after Donald Trump said the US-Israel war on Iran would be ending earlier than thought. However, Trump also threatened Iran with an escalation in fighting if global oil supplies are disrupted by the Islamic Republic and has earlier stated that only Iran’s “unconditional surrender" could end the war. France 24’s Philip Turle takes a look at the mixed messages coming from the White House and asks what is the real US endgame in Iran?
