We examine the conflict between the United States and Iran, which seems to have influenced the oil price rebound. In the Gulf Coast last week, an Iranian high-speed craft approached and threatened US troops, and President Trump ordered him to shoot immediately. The tension in the Middle East, which was still calm, is rising again.

northern part of the Gulf Sea, Iranian Revolutionary Guard high-speed craftsmen approach the US Navy ship.

The U.S. Navy claimed last week that six U.S. Navy warships operating at the Gulf Sea Air Pollution have launched an Iranian Revolutionary Guard's 11 high-speed craftsmen close to 10 meters away and maneuvered for an hour.

"I ordered the U.S. Navy to shoot and destroy Iranian traps that are bothering US ships," Trump said on Twitter.

During the patrol operation, the Revolutionary Guard claimed that the US warship approached and sent a warning signal, but did not withdraw and threatened.

Regarding President Trump's tweets, he said, "Don't worry about the other countries, focus on saving the troops from the coronavirus."

Meanwhile, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard says it has successfully launched its first military satellite.

As the satellite projectile technology is closely related to the intercontinental ballistic missile technology, tensions between the United States and Iran are expected to be sharper.
