BY THE X-TRADER NEWS NEWSROOM · REPORTING FROM FOX BUSINESS · 2 MIN
The ayatollah who commands Iran published messages on the X network in which he threatens to respond to any attack from the United States or Israel. According to Fox Business, the supreme leader ordered his forces to place all American and Israeli assets within striking range.
The report was shown on the Fox & Friends Weekend program, and correspondent Madeleine Rivera covered the topic. The presenters classified the messages as ominous threats and called the situation significant.
The episode occurs amid new signs of escalation. According to the Wall Street Journal, mentioned in the program, the American president was informed about the situation in the Middle East as the government prepares for new attacks after the mid-term legislative elections.
Washington talks about an imminent end to the conflict
The president, in turn, promised that the war will soon come to an end. In statements shown by the channel, he stated that there are ongoing talks and that the Iranians want to negotiate and continue talking to the Americans.
For him, Tehran is facing difficulties: according to the statements reproduced, the regime would not be paying its soldiers or its police and would be in great trouble, while the United States has time. The president repeated that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and that it will not have one. He said this will end very soon, one way or another.
Fox Business also reported that the US has ordered government officials without emergency roles to leave Saudi Arabia, citing attacks. The available transcript ends before detailing the origin of these attacks.
What to watch for in the market
The transcription does not contain market data, and the channel did not comment on the effects on assets. Even so, investors tend to follow tensions in the Middle East due to geopolitical risk, which can weigh on the mood of the stock markets, risk aversion and the search for protective assets, such as the dollar.
The calendar also counts: the market tends to monitor the outcome of the American midterm elections and the possibility, cited by the Wall Street Journal, of new attacks after them. The combination of public threats, employee evacuations and open-ended negotiations maintains an environment of uncertainty for those who follow the international scenario.
