Newsquawk Staff ·

Says

  • Ballistic missile attacks by Iran have decreased by 90% since day one.
  • As we transition to the next phase of the operation, we will dismantle Iran's missile production capability.

What it means

The comments from the US Central Command indicate a significant development in the military operations against Iran, with a notable reduction in missile attacks and plans to further diminish their missile production. This could escalate tensions in the region and affect energy markets, particularly oil and gold, as traders reassess risk appetites and potential supply disruptions. Additionally, the implications for the USD and JPY could be substantial given the geopolitical context.
