Iran's top joint military command has issued a warning that it will target US and its allies' interests throughout the region if the United States attacks Iran's nuclear facilities. This statement underscores Tehran's commitment to a strong defensive posture amid rising tensions.
According to FX Street, the military leadership in Tehran emphasized that any US strike on its nuclear sites would provoke an expansion of Iranian strikes against American and allied assets across the Middle East.
For Japanese investors and markets, this escalation in geopolitical risk could impact global energy supplies and heighten volatility across FX and equities, given Japan's reliance on stable oil imports and regional security.
