Trump's move here is clearly his left and right brains fighting each other.

On one hand, he keeps stirring up tensions in the US-Iran situation, but on the other hand, he's also giving the market some breathing room. Bottom line: he's realized that if he keeps going like this, what crashes first won't be Iran, but US stocks, 10-year Treasury yields, and the Fed's rate-cut expectations.

Once something happens in the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices spike, and inflation expectations will resurface. Then US stocks come under pressure, yields skyrocket, and the rate cuts everyone was waiting for could fall through entirely—or even trigger discussions about renewed rate hikes.

So what looks like tough talk right now is actually him stabilizing the market on one side while buying time for military and strategic deployment on the other.
