Key Facts

1Trump threatened to destroy Iranian infrastructure, including bridges and power plants, by midnight tomorrow.

U.S. President Donald Trump has issued explicit military threats against Iran, vowing to destroy critical infrastructure including bridges and power plants by midnight tomorrow. The escalation follows recent civil unrest within Iran, pushing diplomatic relations between Washington and Tehran to a precarious breaking point. In response, the Iranian President claimed a massive domestic mobilization, stating that 14 million citizens have volunteered to resist U.S. military action. Meanwhile, Iranian Kurdish groups have denied reports of receiving American weaponry, despite allegations of U.S. involvement in fueling regional instability. Financial markets are bracing for impact, with crude oil prices for Brent and WTI expected to see significant volatility due to supply disruption fears. Investors are increasingly pivoting toward safe-haven assets such as Gold (XAU/USD) and the Japanese Yen (USD/JPY) as geopolitical risks intensify.
