Forecast Trend Report by Period
Iran said it has raised its military readiness to the highest level, underscoring its willingness to retaliate forcefully. Tensions remain elevated as discussions continue over extending a ceasefire.
Iranian state television reported on April 22 that the country’s military is on full alert and prepared to mount a “decisive response” if necessary.
Iran also addressed Pakistan’s request to extend the ceasefire, indicating it will monitor developments before deciding how to respond.
The comments came as the US extended the truce while keeping its maritime blockade in place. That has left diplomacy and military pressure playing out simultaneously.
Markets are watching whether prolonged military tensions add to uncertainty around negotiations. The course of the talks and the scale of any response remain the key variables.
