Iranian Foreign Minister says if the US decides to attack Iran, US bases in the region will be legitimate targets as they consider them US bases, not the soil of their neighbours or territory of any other country

Iranian Foreign Minister says if the US decides to attack Iran, US bases in the region will be legitimate targets as they consider them US bases, not the soil of their neighbours or territory of any other country.

The Iranian Foreign Minister's statement escalates tensions by asserting that US bases in the region would be legitimate targets should an attack occur. This rhetoric increases geopolitical risk, particularly in energy markets, as it raises concerns over potential disruptions to oil supplies, which could impact WTI prices. Traders should monitor how this develops, as it could lead to volatility in commodities and related assets.
