Iranian TV: Commander of Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters confirmed to the Supreme Leader the existence of plans to counter hostile actions from the Americans and Zionists

Iranian state media reported that the Commander of Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters has confirmed to the Supreme Leader the existence of plans to counter perceived hostile actions from the U.S. and Israel. This announcement may heighten geopolitical tensions in the region, impacting risk appetite among investors and potentially leading to increased volatility in oil prices due to concerns over supply disruptions. Markets most exposed include energy commodities, particularly crude oil, as any escalation could threaten oil supply routes. Traders will be closely watching for any subsequent military or diplomatic developments, particularly statements from U.S. or Israeli officials, which could further influence 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.
