European natural gas prices surge back to 2023 energy-crisis levels after Trump’s “Economic DDay” post on Iran

The move followed U.S. President Donald Trump’s social-media post declaring an “Economic DDay” against Iran. The statement has intensified market concerns that transit through the Strait of Hormuz—a key chokepoint for global energy shipments—could be disrupted for an extended period.
