Iran's Sharp Message to US: Response Will Increase, Missile Capacity Sufficient

As the conflict between the US and Iran enters its seventh month, statements from Tehran that could escalate tensions have emerged. A senior Iranian official stated that if the US continues its attacks, the level of retaliation will increase. The official also claimed that Iran has the missile capacity to withstand a prolonged war. As the struggle and mutual attacks in the Strait of Hormuz continue, Brent crude oil prices have risen above $100. This further increases the global cost of the war. The rise in oil prices brings concerns about supply security in energy markets. The Strait of Hormuz is known as a key transit point for global oil transportation. Iran's statements indicate that tensions in the region could rise further. Iran's threat of retaliation against possible new US attacks increases uncertainty in the markets. Not investment advice.
