Iran issues sinister warning to Trump as oil market surges

By PHILLIP NIETO, US POLITICAL REPORTER Published: 13:19, 1 June 2026 | Updated: 13:26, 1 June 2026 Iran has issued a fresh warning to Donald Trump, laying down a key demand for ongoing ceasefire talks, as oil prices send global markets into chaos.  Iran's top diplomat Abbas Araghchi said the current ceasefire between Iran and the US covers all fronts, including Lebanon, where Israeli forces continue to strike the Tehran-backed militant group Hezbollah. The regime warned that any violation there would be treated as a violation of the entire ceasefire, and that the US and Israel would face the 'consequences' of their actions. 'The ceasefire between Iran and the US is unequivocally a ceasefire on all fronts, including in Lebanon,' Araghchi wrote. 'Its violation on one front is a violation of the ceasefire on all fronts.' 'The US and Israel are responsible for the consequences of any violation.' The warning sent oil prices into a frenzy, with Brent crude trading at around $93 a barrel and US gas prices holding at a record high of $4.32 a gallon on average. Iran's warning comes after it fired missiles and drones at a US airbase in Kuwait, in retaliation for American airstrikes that Washington described as 'self-defense strikes' against the regime's radar and drone command facilities. Trump, meanwhile, continues to insist that Iran 'really wants to make a deal' and that a comprehensive peace agreement with the regime remains within reach.
