Summary

President Trump publicly confirmed US military strikes on Iranian targets near the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation for Iranian missile attacks on a US base in Jordan and alleged mine-laying attempts. Iran's military sources have signaled they will respond in multiple ways, with the US Embassy in Israel warning of possible escalation in the region. This geopolitical escalation directly impacts oil and gold volatility, currency pairs (especially USD/JPY and commodity-linked FX), and risk-on/risk-off sentiment across equities and commodities.

Trump confirms the striking of Iranian targets saying:The United States is, as we speak, striking Iranian Targets near the Strait of Hormuz. The strikes are large and powerful, and in retaliation for the Iranians’ failed attempt at adding sea mines to the Strait, which currently has no mines (They have been completely removed or detonated!), and the Iranians shooting eight missiles, all successfully knocked down, at our Military Base in Jordan.

If the failed Nation of Iran retaliates for this very justified attack, they will be hit again at a much harder and higher level, but it will not be the biggest attack of them all, that is waiting in the wings and, when it is over, there will be very little left of the Islamic Republic of Iran!
