Tensions in the Middle East have reached a critical point following reports of a planned attack on Iranian territory by the US administration. Final military decisions have been temporarily suspended ahead of Thursday's diplomatic negotiations in Geneva. The situation is further complicated by the revelation of a confidential transaction through which Tehran purchased modern anti-aircraft systems from Russia for nearly half a billion euros.

Enormous investor tension eased in the morning after combat operations were halted and Thursday's nuclear talks were confirmed, limiting the temporary collapse of powerful price surges.
According to reports from the "New York Times," the administration of Donald Trump, who is seeking political pressure, is evaluating precise plans for a military operation against the authorities in Tehran. Scenarios discussed within US security structures encompass a broad spectrum of force-based solutions – from limited precision airstrikes to a massive armed attack, whose direct objective would be the ultimate overthrow of the religious state regime. However, the implementation of the plan has been halted pending the outcome of Thursday's negotiations in Geneva, which will focus on blocking adversaries from expanding their capabilities within the nuclear program. The latest market information indicates only a fractional chance of full success for the Washington cabinet. US officials assess that the diplomatic negotiation window has already closed by at least seventy percent. The position of European states was categorically emphasized by the EU representative for foreign policy, Kaja Kallas, warning higher authorities against escalating global conflict. „We do not need another war in the region.” — Kaja Kallas Chronology of the Persian Gulf Crisis Development: February 22, 22:12 — Agency Publication; February 23, 00:23 — Plan Postponed; February 23, 04:46 — Leaders' Reaction; February 23, 07:15 — Secret Agreement The authorities of the Middle Eastern sovereign immediately and highly categorically condemned American provocations. A spokesperson for the local diplomatic ministry informed the world that regardless of the scale of the political military operation, even very limited attacks will meet with a decisive and powerful defensive response. The long-standing Shia state leader Ali Khamenei further escalates the atmosphere of full war preparation by designating Ali Larijani as his potential successor. The risk of a violent clash is significantly multiplied by circulating documents proving the constant exchange of powerful Russian weaponry. The data leak leads to a clear conclusion – the government purchased a gigantic batch of intercepting weapons in Moscow, dedicated to defense against dropped payloads. Weapons cooperation between autocratic territories and the Russian Federation intensified unprecedentedly to enormous levels after the invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022, when the Iranian weapons system began massively supplying Russian troops with deadly Shahed-series strike drones, forcing in return a powerful transfer of military technology to the Persian country. 500 mln euro — The enormous valuation of the confidential military equipment purchase The latest and exceptionally rapid geopolitical changes on the agenda immediately disrupted the work of the rigid and fragile global trade of large raw material supply chains. Initially, media speculations heralding the outbreak of aerial combat led to an astronomical spike in global stock exchange trading systems for crude oil. However, the dynamics slowed in the morning and base costs declined when market press announced the preservation of small chances for extending de-escalation agreements in Switzerland, forcing a breather. Engineers from the New York market enterprise Goldman Sachs quickly updated official instructions for commodity exchanges. Revised prospects for flagship grades, including the American light benchmark WTI, expanded for the entire year with a negative result, constantly oscillating just below last week's limits. The enormous change in value perfectly highlights the global political anxiety carried by the unequivocally harsh judgment of American power on the economies of all continents.
