Fact Check
The only fetched source directly supporting the claim is the secondary flash item at https://m.theblockbeats.info/flash/339239. I attempted to verify the linked social post at https://x.com/x/status/2039515620492857474, but it could not be fetched, so the underlying quotation and market context remain unconfirmed. Independent corroboration from CBS News' 'Iran war's "core strategic objectives are nearing completion," Trump says' shows Trump made Iran-war remarks around this time, but the wording in the fetched CBS article does not match the exact quote in the claim, and CBS describes oil rising and stock futures falling after the speech rather than confirming the specific reported gold plunge to $4,737.15/oz. Because the core numerical and quotation details rely on a single secondary source and the corroboration attempt did not confirm them, the claim cannot be rated confidently true or false.
