Ghalibaf pointed out that Iran should also utilize diplomatic and negotiating means to achieve and consolidate its national interests. Ghalibaf stated that a memorandum of understanding is only meaningful if all its provisions are valid and being implemented.

The recent strikes have effectively enhanced Trumps additional military options. The U.S. military stated that its latest airstrikes targeted Iranian air defense systems, coastal radar stations, missile and drone bases, as well as small vessels and other maritime assets. One U.S. official stated that these strikes can be seen as "shaping operations," weakening Irans defense capabilities to allow for more intensive U.S. military operations in the future.

The EUR/GBP pair has gained gradually after testing the previous inventory distribution area, which is situated in a constrained band of 0.8475 to 0.8495 with less selling pressure. As investors back the shared currency bulls in expectation of a European Central Bank rate hike announcement, the cross is attempting to surge over 0.8500. (ECB).

 

For the first time in eleven years, European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde is set to hike interest rates. The ECB must raise interest rates because European households can no longer tolerate the price pressures, and the Asset Purchase Program (APP) has come to an end. Before enacting a higher rate rise in the future, the ECB could wish to start out by raising interest rates just a little bit.
