Iran' spokesperson Mohajerani says "We do not want to come under renewed attacks, but if such attacks occur, we will certainly respond more forcefully than before,", ABC reports

Iran's warning of a more forceful response to potential attacks signals an escalation in regional tensions, which could have implications for oil prices, particularly WTI. This rhetoric comes at a time when geopolitical risks are a significant driver in commodity markets, and any increase in tensions could lead to supply concerns that support higher prices. Traders should consider the potential for increased volatility in the energy sector as these events unfold.
