Iran warns US to be careful after Trump’s strike threat over Hezbollah support

Iran warned the United States to be careful with its statements after President Donald Trump threatened to strike Iran over its support for Hezbollah in Lebanon. The warning came as the two countries held talks in Switzerland aimed at reaching a deal to permanently end the Middle East war, with the discussions intended to launch a 60‑day period to settle long‑standing disputes.

Iran’s chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said Tehran’s armed forces are ready to respond differently to any US remarks, insisting that Iran acts while others only speak. Earlier, Trump had said he would attack Iran if its proxies in Lebanon did not stop causing trouble, even as the negotiations were strained by disagreements and fears of renewed fighting in Lebanon.

For Nigerians, the situation matters because Iran is a major oil producer and any escalation in the Gulf can ripple through global oil markets, affecting the price of petrol and diesel at home and influencing government earnings from crude exports. Higher fuel costs raise transport and living expenses, while price swings can affect the naira’s stability.

Will you adjust your budget for possible fuel price changes, keep an eye on credible news sources for updates, or consider how broader market shifts might affect your income or business plans?
