Donald Trump Says US Military Families Can Leave Parts of Middle East

President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that the U.S. is relocating non-emergency personnel and allowing military dependents to leave parts of the Middle East amid rising tensions.
This move followed increased conflict concerns between the U.S. and Iran, with Trump expressing doubt about a nuclear deal and stating, "They can't have a nuclear weapon, very simple."
On Wednesday, crude oil prices surged over 4%, with Brent crude futures rallying 4.81% to close at $69.81 per barrel, driven by geopolitical risks tied to U.S.-Iran tensions.
Following the personnel move announcement, oil prices eased on Thursday to $69.47 per barrel, while oil ETFs surged and the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped nearly 300 points.
The evacuations and price volatility underscore persistent geopolitical risks that may disrupt oil supplies until more clarity arises from ongoing U.S.-Iran nuclear negotiations.
