🚨 Iran issues a firm response again, as the U.S. further escalates economic pressure ⚠️
On August 28, Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs once again condemned the latest economic measures by the U.S., calling them “economic terrorism,” and urged other countries not to cooperate with the related sanctions. At the same time, Tehran said it will take all available means to safeguard its own interests.
Put simply:
The U.S. wants to apply further pressure through economic measures, and Iran has made it clear that it will not accept or cooperate.
What the market truly needs to watch now isn’t just the two sides shouting at each other from afar, but whether there will be stronger economic countermeasures next, and what impact they may have on crude oil, the Strait of Hormuz, and global risk assets.
Currently, shipping through the Strait of Hormuz remains clearly below normal levels, but recent diplomatic backchannel efforts have increased. The market is also monitoring whether there are signs that the situation may ease.
If the situation continues to escalate:
🔥 Crude oil prices may regain support
🔥 Inflation expectations could heat up
🔥 Safe-haven assets such as gold will draw attention
🔥 Short-term volatility in high-beta assets like BTC may also be amplified
📌 One-sentence summary:
In the Middle East, the biggest variable right now isn’t whether there is a conflict, but whether it will further expand. Crude oil, gold, the U.S. dollar, and $BTC may all be pulled along by this game next. 👀$TRUMP $ENA #黄金8月上涨约14%
