US Energy Secretary: Iran nuclear deal may never happen

The shift from negotiated containment to potential military action signals a more confrontational US posture toward Iran, which could directly impact energy markets given Iran's role in regional supply routes. For RWA and crypto traders, the key implication is heightened geopolitical risk premium, as any escalation could disrupt oil flows and spike volatility across commodities and risk assets. The open question is whether diplomatic channels remain viable or if the window for a deal closes entirely, with Iran's threat of heavier retaliation adding a feedback loop that could further unsettle markets.
