IRAN’S ARMY SPOKESPERSON SAYS IF ENEMY ATTACKS IRAN AGAIN, IT WILL BE ‘SURPRISED’ BY NEW WEAPONS, NEW METHODS OF WARFARE, AND NEW ARENAS OF WAR – TASNIM

Iran's army spokesperson has warned that any future attacks on the country will be met with unexpected new weapons and methods of warfare. This rhetoric may heighten geopolitical tensions in the region, influencing risk appetite among investors and potentially leading to capital flight from emerging markets perceived as unstable. Assets most exposed include Iranian equities and regional currencies, which could experience volatility amid fears of escalation. Traders will be particularly attentive to developments in military engagements or diplomatic efforts, as these could significantly impact regional stability and market sentiment.

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.
