Iran Declares Full Military Readiness, Threatens Widespread Response from Hormuz to U.S. Interests
Iranian parliamentary security officials said on January 25 that the country's armed forces are on full alert and warned of broad retaliation — from the Strait of Hormuz to U.S. regional assets — should Tehran face any attack.

US Carrier Strike Group Moves into Indian Ocean as Tensions with Iran Rise
The United States has moved the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group into the Indian Ocean and increased air and missile‑defence assets in the broader Middle East theatre as a hedge against possible Iranian actions. While imagery shows no massive buildup on strategic bases such as Diego Garcia, transport flights and defensive deployments signal sustained readiness, even as political rhetoric on both sides heightens the risk of miscalculation.
Iran Parades 'Witness' Armed Drones It Says Saw Action in Clash with Israel

The USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group has entered the Indian Ocean as part of a wider US military buildup aimed at deterring Iran, accompanied by transport and refuelling aircraft and augmented missile-defence systems.

Trump’s Greenland Gambit and a European Exodus from U.S. Debt Raise Global Political and Market Stakes
Trump’s public manoeuvres over Greenland and a vague NATO “agreement framework” have prompted European pension funds to reduce U.S. Treasury holdings, exposing how geopolitical unpredictability can transmit into markets. The episode sits alongside fresh military tensions with Iran, commodity rallies and corporate guidance shocks, underlining a fragile intersection of politics, finance and strategic resources.

Trump Signals Military Pressure on Iran as Carrier Group Sails West and Secondary Tariffs Loom
President Trump announced that a "large military force" is heading toward Iran while warning of imminent secondary tariffs on countries that trade with Tehran.

The U.S. has moved around a dozen fighter jets and support aircraft from Europe to Jordan while a carrier strike group advances toward the Arabian Sea and Persian Gulf, reinforcing American air and naval presence amid rising tensions with Iran.
