The IRGC says Iranian forces countered the most advanced US military equipment in the recent aggression and will be the ultimate winner of the war.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed that Iranian forces successfully countered advanced U.S. military equipment during recent conflicts, asserting that they will ultimately prevail in the ongoing war. This statement may influence geopolitical risk perceptions, particularly in the Middle East, affecting capital flows and risk appetite among investors. Markets most exposed include oil and defense sectors, as heightened tensions could lead to supply disruptions in oil production or increased military spending. Traders will likely focus on upcoming diplomatic engagements or military developments that could either escalate or de-escalate the situation.

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.
