Senior Iranian security official told the Tehran Times: "If the attacks against Lebanon do not stop, there will be no negotiations."; adds "since last night, following Iran's threats, the volume of attacks has decreased"

This statement from a senior Iranian security official signals a potential escalation in tensions and reflects Iran's influence over Lebanese actors in regional conflicts. The decreased volume of attacks following Iran's threats suggests that its stance may achieve temporary de-escalation, which could impact oil prices and broader market sentiment as investors weigh geopolitical stability against energy supply concerns.
