Iran Vows Continued Deterrence, Links Diplomacy to US-Israel Policy

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei stated that the nation’s armed forces will maintain deterrent military measures indefinitely, explicitly conditioning any potential diplomatic progress on the cessation of perceived violations by Israel and the United States. This rhetoric signals a persistent geopolitical risk premium, operating through the transmission mechanism of regional supply disruption and heightened risk aversion that threatens to destabilize energy corridors. Crude oil markets and regional equity indices remain most exposed to this volatility, as the prospect of an escalating conflict directly challenges the stability of Middle Eastern production and transit infrastructure. Market participants are now shifting their focus toward the upcoming release of regional maritime security updates and any subsequent shifts in U.S. naval positioning, which serve as the primary indicators for potential supply chain bottlenecks in the Strait of Hormuz.

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.
