Iran promised retribution and stopped the attacks on Israel after the American strikes at his nuclear facilities at the weekend, so that the fear of a broader war in Western Asia was fueled and the world markets rattled.
The Islamic Republic shot another rocket against Israel on Monday, while Israeli troops held strikes in Iranian military locations and airports.
The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised to continue in a press conference to continue the military campaign of Israel in Iran and in the Gaza Strip.
S.
Tehran still has to announce or or how the American goals could touch in Western Asia. The decision of US President Donald Trump to use bunker bombs and cruise rockets on the three most important nuclear locations of the country, pushed the West Asian region into Uncharted Territory on Sunday and raised the risks in a world economy that was already confronted with serious uncertainty about his trade war.
Oil rose by almost 6 percent when the markets opened in Asia before they turn most of that profit, with Brent trade at $ 77.65 per barrel from 8:37 am in London. American stock futures initially descended as investors weighed retaliation scenarios and the risks for global energy stocks.
“A growing conflict contributes to the risk of higher oil prices and an upward boost for inflation,” said Bloomberg Economics analysts including Ziad Daoud.
The extensive American operation – which focused at nuclear locations in Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan – included 125 aircraft, strikes from Tomahawk rackets from a submarine and the use of 14 solid ordnance penetrator bombs, the first time the large bunker busters were used in fights.
It also marked the American access to the war that started on 13 June when Israel attacked on the nuclear and military facilities of Iran unleashed and senior commanders and atomic scientists. The American Minister of Defense Pete Hegseeth said that the strikes had a “limited” objective, aimed at destroying Iran’s atomic program.
In the United Nations on Sunday, the Iranian ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani told a meeting of the Emergency Security Council that will be determined by the forces of Tehran “by Tehran’s answer.”
The Islamic revolutionary Guard Corps, which meets the highest leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said it would continue to focus on Israel and American bases in the region would be cited as a vulnerability for the US, without openly threatening them.
Trump said he would respond with “much greater” strength on every Iranian retaliation on American assets. He also drove the possibility of regime change in Iran, although American officials, including State Secretary Marco Rubio, said it is not their objective.
Israeli officials have said that although the overthrow of the Iranian government is not a war objective, their attacks can undermine the government to the extent that it happens.
Fordow -Schade
Trump said that the three nuclear sites that touch American bombers “completely erased.” Yet others were more careful, especially in the case of the enrichment site in Fordow that is deep underground. Hegseeth and Dan Caine, the chairman of the joint staff chefs, belonged to the American officers who said that the extent of the damage was not yet clear.
The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, which officially has the task of monitoring the Iran program, told the UN Security Council on Sunday that no one knows Fordow’s condition, or the location of Iran’s more than 400 kilograms of Uranium enriches up to 60%.
Hormuz traffic
An important area of attention for global markets that are concerned about the possible locations of Iran for retribution is the Strait van Hormuz, an important artery for oil and gas in the world.
Iran’s parliament called for the closure of the street, according to the state run TV on Sunday. But such a movement in the almost five decades of history of the Islamic Republic-Kon, however, do not continue without the approval of Khamenei, the supreme leader. His office manages decisions of this size, usually in coordination, usually with the Supreme National Security Council.
Sea forces in the region warned that ships, especially in the US, could be an increased risk. Greece, the home of more capacity of oil tanker than any other nation, warned the owners of his ships to think again when they are considering entering the Persian Gulf.
Two super tankers who are both able to transport around 2 million barrels of Grove you in the street on Sunday. They entered the Waterweg and then changed course abruptly.
A factor that can complicate the decision of Iran about how to make revenge is that it is largely isolated on the world stage. The best allies – Russia and China – only offer rhetorical support, while the Tehran militia groups have been armed and financed for years or are unable to compete.
Russian officials have made it clear that a collaboration treaty that the two countries signed in January does not include obligations for mutual defense. And China, which gets a lot of his oil and liquid natural gas import from the Golf, including Iran, would be hate to see energy prices rise due to a closure of or attacks on tankers in the street of Hormuz.
