Trump Issues Sharp Military Threats Against Iran, Sparking Market Volatility Concerns

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has issued severe national security warnings, threatening potential rapid military action against Iran. Trump suggested the possibility of "taking out" Iranian targets entirely within a single night, raising significant concerns over regional stability. Reports indicate that U.S. military options could include non-lethal technologies such as "blackout bombs" to disable critical infrastructure. This escalation in rhetoric is expected to trigger heightened volatility across global financial markets in the near term. Geopolitical tensions of this magnitude typically drive up prices for Brent Crude and safe-haven assets like Gold (XAU/USD). Conversely, equity markets such as the SPY may face downward pressure as investors shift toward a "risk-off" sentiment to protect capital.
