Iran has officially warned that if Israel attacks its nuclear facility, it will treat it as a direct act of war by the United States. This statement has shaken global markets and increased the risk of a full-blown regional conflict.
Historically, such geopolitical flashpoints — like the U.S. drone strike on Soleimani in 2020 or the Saudi Aramco attack in 2019 — have triggered massive volatility. Oil surged 15% overnight in 2019, gold spiked, and equities dropped sharply. A similar reaction is now possible.
If Israel proceeds with the attack and Iran retaliates, we could see:
Oil prices exploding due to potential disruption in the Strait of Hormuz
Gold rallying hard as a safe haven
Stock markets falling on global risk-off sentiment
Crypto experiencing mixed reaction — panic first, but BTC may act as digital gold later
USD strengthening as a global safe currency
Bond yields falling as investors seek safety
This isn’t just a military conflict — it's a global financial event in the making.
Markets are watching closely.
Next 24–72 hours will be critical.
