Storm on the Horizon: Iran Issues Dire Warning After U.S. Naval Deployment

Tensions in the Persian Gulf have surged after Iran warned that any military strike by the United States would trigger an “all‑out war.” The warning followed the deployment of a U.S. naval “armada,” ordered by Donald Trump, to reinforce American presence in the region. Iranian officials described the move as a direct threat to their national security, insisting that even a limited attack would provoke a full‑scale response. The U.S. maintains that the deployment is meant to deter aggression and protect its interests and allies. Analysts caution that the situation is becoming increasingly volatile. With both nations adopting uncompromising positions, even a minor misstep could ignite a conflict far larger than either side intends. The world now watches closely as diplomatic channels strain under the weight of rising hostility.

U.S. Stock Futures Steady After Cooler Inflation Data

                                             

U.S. stock futures showed resilience in premarket trading, paring earlier losses following a cooler-than-expected inflation report. The March Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 2.4% year-over-year, below the anticipated 2.6%, while the core CPI, excluding food and energy, increased by 2.8%, compared to estimates of 3%. 

This data has bolstered expectations that the Federal Reserve may stay on course to reduce interest rates later this year. At 8:31 a.m. ET, Dow E-minis were down 1.06%, S&P 500 E-minis fell 1.44%, and Nasdaq 100 E-minis dropped 1.81%. 

The report also highlighted a slight monthly decline of 0.1% in inflation, signaling a potential easing of price pressures. Investors remain cautiously optimistic as they assess the implications for monetary policy and market stability.
