IRAN'S REZAEI: IF US ATTACKS IRAN, WE WILL ATTACK NOT ONLY NEARBY AMERICAN BASES, BUT ALSO DISTANT US BASES LOCATED IN FAR-OFF PLACES THAT WE HAVE NOT YET ATTACKED

Iranian official Rezaei stated that if the United States attacks Iran, Tehran would target not only nearby American bases but also distant US installations in locations not previously struck. The headline signals an explicit escalation threat rather than a policy action, and its market relevance runs through geopolitical risk premia: threats of expanded regional conflict typically lift crude oil prices on fears of supply disruption through the Strait of Hormuz and the broader Gulf shipping corridor. Safe-haven flows tend to move into US Treasuries, gold, and the Japanese yen and Swiss franc, while regional equity indices, shipping and insurance-linked names, and defense contractors often reprice upward. Traders should watch Brent and WTI futures for sustained moves, CBOE Volatility Index behavior, and any official US or allied response, as well as weekly EIA crude inventory data and OPEC+ production commentary that would indicate whether supply concerns are being priced as durable.

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.
