Israel's airstrike on Iran shakes global markets! A renowned Middle East issues professor analyzes the probability of escalating conflict between Israel and Iran and its global impact

According to the latest report from CCTV News, in the early hours of June 12 local time, Israel launched an attack on Iran, with the air force conducting airstrikes on dozens of targets related to Iran's nuclear program and other military facilities. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the military operations against Iran's nuclear facilities would continue for several days until the threat is eliminated.

Iran then began to retaliate. According to Global Network citing media reports, the Israeli city of Tel Aviv was attacked, including 10 nuclear facilities. The Israel Defense Forces stated that Iran launched over 100 drones at Israel.

The outbreak of conflict between Israel and Iran has caused a huge shock in global markets, with crude oil soaring 10% before retreating, and safe-haven assets like gold significantly rising, while global stock markets collectively fell.
