According to the Wits News APP, Israel launched a surprise attack on Iran's nuclear facilities and ballistic missile bases in the early morning of June 13. Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander Hussein Salami was killed in the attack. Tehran immediately vowed to launch a "severe strike" against the Israeli government and the United States. This sudden Middle East crisis quickly penetrated geopolitical boundaries, causing violent fluctuations in global capital markets - Brent crude oil futures surged more than 13% in a single day, cryptocurrencies and global stock markets collectively declined, and safe-haven assets such as gold surged in response. The chain reaction in energy and financial markets is still fermenting.
