What happened
Iran says it is preparing a maximum deterrence plan for any new US attack and warns of an immediate response. This keeps the risk of fresh escalation in the Middle East in focus.
Why it matters
India is exposed through energy, shipping routes and risk sentiment. Any rise in tension around Iran can push up oil, raise import costs and pressure sectors that use fuel heavily, while also affecting the rupee and foreign flows.
Global impact
Such tensions often move world oil, shipping and equity markets quickly. If the standoff deepens, traders usually price in more supply risk and more volatility across global assets.
