**Summary**: Despite Israeli airstrikes in Beirut that killed a senior Hezbollah commander, Trump repeatedly signals that a US–Iran agreement will still be signed within hours. Iranian military and parliamentary figures threaten a “strong response,” but US and mediators are pressing Tehran not to retaliate. Markets will toggle between expectations of increased Iranian supply and a Mideast risk premium until the deal is formally signed or clearly derailed.

## Detail

In the last hour, multiple overlapping reports clarify that the Israeli strike on Beirut, which killed Hezbollah’s Golan portfolio chief Ali Moussa Dakdouk, has delayed but not yet derailed a pending US–Iran agreement. Trump tells Fox News and Axios’s Barak Ravid that the deal was supposed to be signed this morning but is now expected “in two to three hours or tonight.” He also states he will ask Iran not to respond with missile strikes and has sharply warned Netanyahu against further Lebanon strikes that could “jeopardize the deal.”

On the Iranian side, senior figures are using escalatory rhetoric: Major General Ali Abdollahi says Iran’s forces are “locked and loaded,” and parliament security chief Ebrahim Azizi twice promises a “strong response.” The spokesman for Iran’s negotiating team is also signaling punishment for Israel. Parallel reporting notes that US and mediators are actively pressuring Iran not to respond militarily.

From a commodities perspective, the core market question remains whether a sanctions‑easing deal actually materializes, allowing a sustained step‑up in Iranian crude exports (potentially 0.5–1.0 mb/d over 6–12 months, on top of already elevated shadow exports), versus a breakdown that would lock in current constraints and possibly invite new sanctions. Today’s messaging tilts back toward deal completion after earlier headlines suggested talks were “off,” which is modestly bearish for crude on a probability‑weighted basis, but the immediate effect is to keep a sizeable risk premium in Mideast barrels given explicit threats of retaliatory strikes.

Near term, Brent and WTI are likely to remain headline‑driven and volatile: any concrete confirmation of signing should shave a few dollars off front‑month prices, while credible indications that Iran will retaliate with missiles on Israeli or Gulf infrastructure would swing risk sharply the other way. Gold and safe‑haven FX (JPY, CHF) remain supported by tail‑risk of a wider conflict. Until there is either signed documentation or an explicit breakdown of talks, expect a high‑volatility, news‑sensitive environment rather than a directional trend; the impact is material but still contingent, so more tactical than structural at this stage.
