IRAN'S FOREIGN MINISTRY: ASSERTIONS THAT TEHRAN HAS COMMITTED TO MINE-CLEARING IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ ARE NOTHING BUT MEDIA FABRICATION — FARS NEWS.

Iran's Foreign Ministry has denied claims that Tehran has agreed to mine-clearing operations in the Strait of Hormuz, labeling these assertions as media fabrications. This denial may affect risk appetite in the region, particularly concerning geopolitical tensions that could disrupt oil supply routes. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments, making oil prices and related assets particularly sensitive to developments in this area. Traders will be closely watching for any further statements from Iranian officials or developments in U.S.-Iran relations that could escalate tensions or impact shipping security in the region.

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.
