Asia stocks slip as US strikes on Iran spark risk-off ahead of PCE data

Asian stock markets retreated after fresh U.S. strikes on Iran dampened risk appetite ahead of the U.S. PCE inflation report; key indices eased in Japan, Hong Kong, and China (Nikkei 225 down ~0.1%, TOPIX ~0.2% lower, Hang Seng ~-2%, CSI 300 ~-1.1%), with Australia’s ASX 200 also lower. Oil prices rebounded, Brent near $97 and WTI above $90, as energy concerns persisted. Wall Street had closed at record highs previously on hopes of easing Middle East tensions, while traders awaited inflation data that could influence the Fed’s policy path.

Iran-US peace talks endure after US strike as Trump delays cabinet meeting

Iran denounces the US strike as bad faith and a ceasefire violation but stays at the negotiating table in a peace process mediated by Pakistan and Qatar, as oil climbs on the renewed clashes; Trump postpones a rare cabinet meeting due to bad weather while questions about the peace deal persist. The briefing also highlights other headlines, including South Carolina’s rejection of rapid redistricting, Alabama’s voting-map ruling, proposed NDAs for federal workers, a senator pepper-sprayed at an ICE protest, and additional news such as NASA’s lunar missions and a White House lawn UFC event.

Kharg Island: Oil Hub at the Center of US-Iran Tensions

Kharg Island: Oil Hub at the Center of US-Iran Tensions

U.S. forces say they hit Kharg Island, Iran’s main oil-export terminal about 20 miles off the Gulf coast, and avoided its oil-loading facilities. The island historically handles about 85-95% of Iran’s crude exports, making it vital for Tehran’s revenue. Damaging Kharg could threaten Iran’s energy system and add pressure on the Strait of Hormuz, potentially provoking broader retaliation across Gulf fronts while global oil prices rise. Iran has fortified the island since the Iran-Iraq War, underscoring its strategic value as a bargaining chip and security lever.

Hegseth touts US-Iran strikes as unprecedented, targets media coverage

At a Pentagon briefing, Pete Hegseth claimed the US-Israeli campaign against Iran is unprecedentedly successful, alleging Iran’s air force, navy and missile defenses are crippled after 13 days and accusing journalists of downplaying gains. He highlighted supposed battlefield blows, noted ongoing Iranian missile and drone attacks, and referenced a US investigation into an airstrike on a girls’ school in Iran, which preliminary findings reportedly concluded the US bombed. He mocked media headlines and press access during the briefing, closing with a patriotic pledge.

Trump shrugs off Iran’s threats as U.S. strikes push ahead

President Trump dismissed threats from Iran’s top national-security official Ali Larijani in a CBS News interview, saying he 'couldn’t care less' and that U.S. strikes would continue until Iran unconditionally surrenders. He claimed Iran’s military is being decimated and downplayed calls for greater ally involvement. The report also notes Iran’s internal leadership shifts, with an interim three-person council and Pezeshkian’s initial apology for retaliatory strikes followed by a backtrack asserting Iran targeted U.S. bases rather than neighboring states.

Macron condemns US-Israeli strikes on Iran as illegal, warns of protracted conflict

French President Emmanuel Macron said the US-Israeli strikes on Iran, which began Saturday and reportedly killed Iran’s supreme leader, were conducted 'outside of international law' and that Paris cannot approve them. He warned the conflict could last longer than expected, pledged to bolster French forces in the region (including deploying the Charles de Gaulle carrier and anti-missile systems to Cyprus) and aligned with Spain’s Pedro Sánchez in questioning the legality, as Iranian drones hit a French base in the UAE amid ongoing security operations.
