Five explosions rocked the central Iranian city of Yazd amid ongoing military strikes by the United States and Israel targeting Iran’s nuclear and military sites. These attacks come on the seventh consecutive night of bombardment after an interim ceasefire collapsed.
The blasts in Yazd are part of a wider operation focusing on more than 300 strategic targets aimed at Iran's military infrastructure, upending previous attempts to de-escalate the conflict. Market analysts have noted a rise in the perceived probability of regime change in Iran before 2027, reflecting growing concerns about the country's internal stability amid the intensified air campaign.
Observers are closely monitoring developments that may influence the trajectory of the conflict, including defections within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, large-scale protests, and any shifts involving key political figures such as Mojtaba Khamenei. The possibility of renewed ceasefire talks or diplomatic negotiations also remains a factor affecting market and geopolitical forecasts.
