Iran's National Security Council Secretary: We have not made any new decision regarding changing the nuclear doctrine at the official and governmental level

Iran's National Security Council Secretary stated that no new decision has been made at the official and governmental level to change the country's nuclear doctrine. The statement is a denial or clarification rather than a policy shift, which matters because the market has been pricing in the possibility of a move toward weaponization or a looser nuclear posture. The primary transmission channel is geopolitical risk premia, feeding into oil and regional currency assets through expectations of sanctions escalation, Strait of Hormuz disruption, and Israeli or Western military response. Iranian-linked and Gulf energy exposures, along with Israeli sovereign and shekel-denominated assets, are most sensitive, while Brent crude may see the most immediate repricing given its direct link to Middle East supply risk. Traders should watch the IAEA Board of Governors' next quarterly report on Iran's enriched uranium stockpile and inspector access, as any finding of accelerated enrichment would challenge the reassurance embedded in this statement.

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.
