The U.S. military said Tuesday night that it had completed its latest strikes on Iran, targeting Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps positions. The action followed a weekend exchange of fire as the war with Iran escalated.
The latest U.S.-Iran strikes sent oil prices and bond yields sharply higher, shifted expectations toward a Federal Reserve rate hike rather than a cut, and prompted Vladimir Putin to publicly back Tehran.
Oil prices rose Wednesday as tensions in the Middle East continued to escalate after the U.S. attacked Iran and Tehran reportedly struck back at U.S. allies. Brent crude gained more than 2%.
Iranian state media says US strikes in two separate incidents killed 11 people, including four at a wedding in southern Iran. The attacks followed US strikes on what Washington described as Iranian military targets and Iranian missile and drone fire at sites across the Middle East, ending a month-long lull and escalating hostilities.
Asian stocks fell sharply at the start of Wednesday trading as panic sparked by the bond market spread into the region. Renewed U.S. attacks on Iran also drove oil prices higher.
