Iranian Foreign Ministry: Iran will employ all its capabilities to defend its interests, national security, and the dignity of its people

Iran’s Foreign Ministry reiterated its commitment to using all available capabilities to protect its national interests and security, escalating rhetorical tensions amid ongoing regional geopolitical strains. This statement reinforces perceptions of heightened geopolitical risk in the Middle East, which could tighten global oil supply expectations and bolster risk premiums in energy markets, particularly given Iran’s strategic role in OPEC+ and the Strait of Hormuz. The IRAN equity and foreign exchange markets, already under severe external pressure, may see further capital outflows as foreign investors reassess political risk and sanction exposure. Regional proxy activity or direct confrontations involving Iranian assets could trigger sharper market reactions in oil and emerging market debt. Traders will watch for any follow-up military developments or diplomatic responses from the U.S. or E.U. as key near-term catalysts.

HIGH-impact news is typically a market-moving event with multi-pip or multi-percent intraday reactions. Examples include central bank rate decisions, major CPI/NFP releases, geopolitical shocks, mega-cap earnings beats/misses, and regulatory announcements. Traders typically position-reduce or hedge ahead of scheduled HIGH-impact events, and follow the wire in real time to react to unscheduled ones (war headlines, central-bank emergency statements, surprise corporate actions). The Trading News Terminal squawk box reads every HIGH-impact headline aloud the moment it hits the wire — so active traders don't have to stare at the feed.

Active traders typically follow a three-step workflow when a market-moving headline hits the wire: (1) read the headline on the terminal or hear it on the squawk box; (2) assess whether the news is already priced in (by checking intraday price action in the seconds before) or whether it's genuinely new information; (3) act — either entering a breakout position, fading an overreaction, or tightening stops on existing trades. Trading News Terminal's Pro plan delivers wire-grade headlines within seconds of the source, with automatic audio squawk on every HIGH-impact event, so the read-assess-act cycle never waits on a refresh button.
