Washington Signals Swift Timeline for Iran Operation

US official said that achievable objectives of Operation Epic Fury are expected to last about six weeks. The White House says it expects U.S. military objectives in Iran to be achieved within four to six weeks , emphasizing that Operation Epic Fury is progressing as planned. According to Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, the campaign has already weakened Iran’s naval capabilities and sharply reduced missile attacks, putting the U.S. “well on its way” toward its strategic goals.  The operation, now in its second week, focuses on dismantling Iran’s ballistic missile infrastructure, degrading its navy, and limiting its pathway to nuclear weapons. Officials maintain that U.S. stockpiles and resources are sufficient to sustain the mission through its projected timeline.  As regional tensions escalate, Washington continues to frame the operation as both achievable and time‑bound, reinforcing its confidence in meeting objectives by early April.

Stock Market Today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq Rebound Amid China Tariff Retaliation and New Jobs Data

                                    

US stocks rebounded on Tuesday as investors assessed China's swift retaliation to the latest US tariffs and digested fresh jobs data. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by 0.2%, while the S&P 500 gained 0.7%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite jumped 1.2%.

China responded to the new 10% tariffs imposed by the US with tariffs of its own on US coal, liquified natural gas, crude oil, farm equipment, and some autos. Despite the escalating trade tensions, some analysts see China's measured response as a potential opening for compromise.

Meanwhile, job openings in the US declined more than expected in December, adding to concerns about the labor market's cooling trend. Investors are closely watching these developments as the Federal Reserve considers future interest rate cuts amid ongoing inflation concerns.

Tech stocks led the gains, with Alphabet (Google) shares rising nearly 2% ahead of its fourth-quarter earnings report. Vaccine stocks, however, fell after Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination to lead the Health and Human Services Department advanced to the Senate.

Overall, the market's positive reaction suggests cautious optimism as traders navigate the complexities of trade relations and economic data.
