Iran's Foreign Ministry: Condemns US strikes on Qeshm island
Iran's Foreign Ministry has stated during the European trading session on Wednesday that it condemns United States (US) strikes on Iranian tanker and Qeshm island.
Additional remarks
Stresses direct responsibility of Kuwait and Bahrain rulers for permitting attacks.
Reserves right to defend against any country permitting US use of territory or airspace for attacks.
This appears to be a response by the Iranian Foreign Ministry to the US “self-defense strikes” against Iran. Late Tuesday, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said that it had intercepted and defeated a series of Iranian missile and drone attacks targeting regional neighbors, including Kuwait and Bahrain, while also carrying out self-defense strikes on Iran’s Qeshm Island.
Market reaction
No immediate impact seen in the US Dollar (USD), while the US Dollar Index (DXY) has been trading firmly since the opening due to increased US-Iran deal uncertainty, and is up 0.13% to near 99.35 as of writing.
