U.S. financial firms are on high alert for cyberattacks as the war with Iran escalates, with companies ramping up threat monitoring amid the heightened geopolitical tension. The killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has fueled regional chaos, shaken global markets, and raised fears that Iran‑linked hackers could target America’s financial sector in retaliation. 

Iran’s spot in the 2026 World Cup is now uncertain, after U.S.–Israeli strikes and the killing of Iran’s supreme leader prompted the country’s soccer chief to say they may not be able to participate. FIFA says it’s too early to comment, while Iran’s games in Los Angeles and Seattle face added complications because Iranian fans are barred from entering the U.S. under a travel ban.
