Iran Deputy FM Warns US Aggression Would Have Consequences Beyond Region

The signal here is less the threat itself than the explicit framing of escalation as non-regional, which links any military exchange to spillover beyond the Middle East — a risk channel that typically transmits through energy and shipping rather than through crypto or RWA markets directly. The accompanying claim of a constructive diplomatic stance alongside scenario preparation suggests Tehran is keeping both tracks open, so the operative question is which track Washington signals it is choosing. For now this is rhetoric without a triggering event, and the open question is whether it stays at the rhetorical level.
