The situation in Iran has brought new updates!

According to CCTV News, on the 27th local time, a spokesperson for the Iranian armed forces stated that Iran is formulating conditions for ending the war. The spokesperson warned the United States and Israel that Iran possesses strong power and a victorious advantage on the battlefield, capable of determining the final outcome of the war, and that the US and Israel will be “forced” to accept this reality.

Additionally, informed officials from the United States and Saudi Arabia disclosed that on the 27th, Iran attacked the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, which houses US troops, resulting in injuries to 10 US military personnel and damage to several US aerial refueling aircraft.

US media reported on the 27th local time that the USS George H.W. Bush aircraft carrier is expected to be deployed to the Middle East or nearby areas. On the same day, US Secretary of State Rubio stated that US and Israeli military actions against Iran will continue for several weeks. German Chancellor Merz noted on the 27th that the actions taken by the US are not aimed at de-escalating the situation or seeking a peaceful resolution, but rather at a large-scale escalation of conflict, the outcome of which is unpredictable.

Iranian Armed Forces: Formulating Conditions for Ending the War

On the 27th local time, a spokesperson for the Iranian armed forces stated that Iran is formulating conditions for ending the war. The spokesperson warned the United States and Israel that Iran possesses strong power and a victorious advantage on the battlefield, capable of determining the final outcome of the war, and that the US and Israel will be “forced” to accept this reality.

The spokesperson pointed out that the US and Israel have fully recognized the strength of Iran’s armed forces and the nation in actual struggles, advising them to face the facts and return to rationality in a timely manner.

According to CCTV News, on March 27th local time, a US official revealed that Iran launched missiles at the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, resulting in injuries to several American soldiers.

Two US officials stated that the attack resulted in injuries to several US military personnel, but that all the injured are currently in stable condition. Additionally, at least one US aircraft was damaged in the attack.

It is reported that this attack is one of Iran’s latest responses to the military actions of the US and its allies. As the conflict continues to escalate, US personnel and facilities in the Middle East face heightened risks.

So far, at least 303 US military personnel have been injured in military operations against Iran, with 10 suffering serious injuries.

On the evening of the 27th local time, Major General Mousavi of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps stated that the attacks by the US and Israel on multiple Iranian infrastructure sites that day were “provocative and reckless actions.”

Mousavi stated that under the current circumstances, Iran’s response “will no longer be limited to tit for tat,” but did not disclose specific details.

He also warned that employees of industrial enterprises linked to the US and Israel in the region should immediately evacuate their workplaces to avoid endangering their lives in subsequent actions.

On the evening of the 27th local time, Iranian Foreign Minister Amir-Abdollahian responded on social media to Israel’s attacks on Iranian infrastructure, including power plants and steel mills, emphasizing that Israel will pay a heavy price for “its crimes.”

Amir-Abdollahian pointed out that Israel attacked Iran’s two largest steel mills, a power plant, and civilian nuclear facilities, stating that these actions were coordinated with the US according to Israeli claims.

He stated that this attack contradicts US President Trump’s earlier claim of “suspending operations against Iranian energy facilities,” reiterating Iran’s firm stance on maintaining national security and interests.

Secretary of State: Military Actions Against Iran Will Continue for Several Weeks

According to Xinhua News Agency, US Secretary of State Rubio stated on the 27th after attending a G7 foreign ministers’ meeting in France that US and Israeli military actions against Iran will continue for several weeks, and there are currently no plans for meetings regarding the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

Before departing for home on the same day, Rubio told the media that he expects military actions against Iran to conclude at an appropriate time, “we are talking about weeks, not months.” Additionally, according to a social media post by a reporter from Axios, Rubio informed his G7 colleagues that the conflict will last “2 to 4 weeks.”

Rubio stated that the US can still achieve its military objectives against Iran without deploying ground troops, including destroying Iran’s missile and drone capabilities. He also mentioned that the US has recently deployed thousands of additional troops to the Middle East to provide options for President Trump to respond to emergencies, without elaborating further.

According to CNN on the 27th, the USS George H.W. Bush aircraft carrier is expected to be deployed to the Middle East or nearby areas. The report cited sources saying that the Bush carrier will head to the US Central Command area of responsibility, including the Middle East.

It remains unclear whether the Bush carrier will join or replace the naval forces already participating in operations against Iran in the region.

The report stated that despite President Trump claiming to be negotiating with Iran, he has also been considering various military options that could escalate the conflict.

On the evening of the 27th, German Chancellor Merz stated that the actions currently taken by the US are not aimed at de-escalating the situation or seeking a peaceful resolution, but rather at a large-scale escalation of conflict, the outcome of which is unpredictable. Merz noted that these escalations pose a threat not only to those directly affected but also to everyone, including Germans.

Merz also questioned the US and Israel’s war objectives in Iran, believing that the goal of regime change in Iran cannot be achieved. Merz stated, “Is regime change really their goal? If so, I don’t think they can achieve it. These things usually end in failure.”

In his speech, Merz also expressed Germany’s willingness to deploy armed forces for mine clearance operations in the Strait of Hormuz after the war ends.

Will the Federal Reserve’s Next Move Be Raising Interest Rates?

Data from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange shows that investors currently believe there is about a 20% probability that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates before the September meeting, and they believe there is a zero chance of rate cuts within the next six months. A month ago, the market anticipated more than a 90% probability of at least one rate cut before September.

Bettors on the Polymarket platform estimate that the likelihood of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates later this year is 25%, while the probability of not lowering rates in 2026 is 40%.

On Friday, due to ongoing attacks in the Middle East, concerns about the possibility of the war with Iran extending into April or even longer intensified, causing oil prices to rise further. Brent crude futures traded above $106 per barrel; West Texas Intermediate crude futures surpassed $100, with an increase of over 7%. Investors are closely monitoring the escalating impact of shipping disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz on the economy.

On that day, not only did the US stock market experience a sharp decline, but the bond market also faced sell-offs, indicating that investors expect the Federal Reserve to adopt a more hawkish stance on interest rates due to concerns that soaring oil prices may drive up inflation.

According to Yahoo Finance, Trump’s postponement of military actions against Iranian energy facilities has not alleviated investors’ anxiety, with the yield on the 10-year US Treasury note rising to 4.46%, the highest level since July, contrary to the bond price trend.

Mike Dickson, head of research and quantitative strategies at Horizon, wrote: “After months of expecting the Fed to cut rates this year, investors have returned to the old adage: ‘Higher for longer.’”

The yield on the two-year US Treasury note climbed to 4% on Friday, indicating a similar situation. Aditya Bhave, an economist at Bank of America, pointed out that this yield has diverged from oil price trends.

Bhave noted that Fed Chairman Powell’s remarks after the Fed meeting earlier this month were hawkish, while Fed Governor Christopher Waller expressed significant concern about soaring oil prices during an interview on March 20. Bhave wrote that given the divergence between short-term interest rates and oil price trends post-meeting, “we believe the market is currently anticipating that the Fed’s response mechanism will become more hawkish and may expect broader commodity shocks.”
