US President Donald Trump said in a phone interview with CBS News that the American war with Iran is "almost" complete, and he indicated that he is considering "seizing" the Strait of Hormuz, warning Tehran against disrupting the vital waterway. Commercial shipments through Hormuz - through which about 20% of global oil supplies pass - have effectively stalled, keeping markets focused on energy security risks. After the interview, the price of benchmark US crude oil briefly dropped by as much as 13.7% (around $13 per barrel) before paring losses; major US stock indices closed higher after having traded mostly lower earlier in the session.$BTC $ETH
