Gate News reported that on March 21, DeFiance Capital CEO Arthur posted on the X platform, stating that it is unlikely for Trump to back down or for the Middle East situation to cool down in the short term, as the US and Israel are currently continuing to pressure Iran. He pointed out that global supply chains may be further disrupted in the coming weeks. According to a previous Axios report, the Trump administration is considering occupying or blockading Iran's Kharg Island to force it to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
