Trump: Iran’s Fordow nuclear site may still be active

This statement injects fresh geopolitical uncertainty into markets that had priced in a complete neutralization of Iran's nuclear program. If Fordow remains a live concern, the risk premium tied to regional conflict and potential supply disruptions could persist or rebuild, affecting energy and defense-related assets. The claim of full monitoring suggests a waiting game rather than a closed chapter, leaving the market to weigh whether this is rhetorical posturing or a precursor to further action. The open question is whether any independent verification emerges to support or contradict the assessment, which would clarify the true state of play.
