Tensions in West Asia

Al Jazeera reported that as the United States continues to exert heavy economic and military pressure on Iran, US President Donald Trump praised Russian President Vladimir Putin for staying out of the dispute. In response to ongoing American pressure, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) delivered a severe warning, with spokesman Brigadier-General Hossein Mohebbi threatening to target critical undersea communication cables in the Strait of Hormuz if US attacks undermine Iran’s regional security.

A 60-day maritime armistice brokered by the US and Iran in mid-June 2026 has disintegrated, replacing brief shipping lane stability with renewed missile strikes and mounting maritime risk. The failure of the agreement prompted both states to recommence active military operations and disband formal diplomatic channels. Consequently, fears of global energy disruption have driven a major safe-haven rally in precious metals, sending domestic and spot gold prices surging alongside foreign exchange instability and recent import duty revisions.
