Iran's police chief says anyone taking to the streets at the enemy's request will be confronted as an enemy and not a protester, adds security forces are prepared to respond and have their fingers on the trigger

Iran's police chief's warning suggests a hardening stance against protests, which could escalate tensions significantly. Given the region's volatility, this could lead to market reactions in energy assets, particularly in WTI, as concerns over supply disruptions may rise if unrest escalates. Traders should stay alert to potential movements in oil prices and related commodities as the situation unfolds.
