Bigger Pic: Markets on the Edge After Iran Strike

The United States and Israel have launched coordinated strikes on Iran, triggering retaliatory missile attacks across the Middle East and sharp exchanges at the United Nations. Tehran calls it a “war crime”. Washington says it is acting in the interest of global security.

As oil markets react and regional powers scramble to contain spillover, the question now is not just who acted  but what happens next.

In this episode of Morning Shot, the Breakfast Show speaks with James M. Dorsey, Adjunct Senior Fellow at Nanyang Technological University’s S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, to examine how this confrontation is unfolding, what it signals about the balance of power in the region and how prolonged instability could reshape the global landscape.
