As we reported yesterday (1/8) Iran attacked two military bases housing American troops within Iraqi borders. Oil prices went up as a result of anxiety revolving around a potential catastrophic war in the Middle East which could engulf the entire region.
President Trump commented on the matter after the attacks via Twitter, stating,
All is well! Missiles launched from Iran at two military bases located in Iraq. Assessment of casualties & damages taking place now. So far, so good! We have the most powerful and well equipped military anywhere in the world, by far! I will be making a statement tomorrow morning.

If events were to collapse at this point there is no reasonably foreseeing how low things can go.
