Commander of Iran's Aerospace force says from now on, missiles with warheads lighter than one tonne will not be launched and the frequency and scope of the launches will increase, and their range will become wider, according to state media.

What it means

The statement from Iran's Aerospace commander signals a potential escalation in military capabilities and tensions in the region. The commitment to limit missile launches to those with heavier warheads, alongside an increase in frequency and range, could heighten geopolitical risk and may influence commodities markets, particularly oil prices, as investors react to potential supply disruptions or heightened tensions.
