IRAN'S REVOLUTIONARY GUARDS AEROSPACE FORCE COMMANDER MOUSAVI SAYS TEHRAN WILL RESPOND WITH 'LONG AND PAINFUL STRIKES' EVEN IF U.S. ATTACK IS LIMITED

Iran's Revolutionary Guards Aerospace Force Commander Mousavi warned of severe retaliation against any U.S. military action, escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The threat amplifies risk premiums in energy markets due to potential supply disruptions from a region critical to global oil flows, particularly through the Strait of Hormuz. This rhetoric strengthens safe-haven demand, supporting gold and U.S. Treasuries, while increasing pressure on risk assets, especially in emerging markets with external vulnerabilities. The Iranian rial and regional equities remain particularly exposed to sudden risk-off moves. Traders will watch for any follow-up statements from U.S. Central Command or Iranian state media indicating military posturing or diplomatic de-escalation.

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.
