President Trump downplayed Iranian drone attacks on US bases in Kuwait and Bahrain, characterizing them as reciprocation for previous US military actions. The attacks struck Kuwait International Airport, resulting in one death and over 60 injuries, though Iran denied responsibility for the civilian casualties. On June 11, geopolitical tensions eased after Trump called off retaliatory strikes, citing a potential peace deal. This de-escalation triggered a significant market rally, with the Dow Jones jumping 800 points and chip stocks rebounding, while oil prices declined.
