Iran's representative to the UN says Iran informs the Council it faces a clear US threat to use force against it, while the Iranian envoy said Washington will bear responsibility for any uncontrolled consequences resulting from any acts of aggression

Iran's representative to the UN says Iran informs the Council it faces a clear US threat to use force against it, while the Iranian envoy said Washington will bear responsibility for any uncontrolled consequences resulting from any acts of aggression.

This development underscores escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran, which typically leads to increased volatility in energy markets and safe-haven assets like gold. Traders should watch how this impacts currency valuation, particularly the USD, JPY, and EUR, as geopolitical risks often shift investor sentiment toward havens. The potential for military action also raises concerns around crude oil supply and prices, given Iran's significant role in the market.
