Iranian TV: Commander of Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters confirmed during meeting with the Leader that Iranian forces enjoy high readiness.

Iranian state television reported that the Commander of Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters confirmed to the Leader that Iranian forces are at a high state of readiness. This announcement may influence regional geopolitical tensions, potentially impacting risk appetite among investors. Increased military readiness could lead to heightened concerns over supply disruptions, particularly in oil markets, given Iran's significant role in the region. Traders will be particularly focused on any subsequent developments or military exercises that may arise from this statement, as these could provide further insight into Iran's strategic intentions and their implications for regional stability.

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.
