Axios reporter Barak Ravid cites a US official saying the US base in Jordan was not attacked. Ravid adds this could imply the US does not intend to respond to the Iranian strike and is denying an attack to mask its position.

Former president Rouhani said recent U.S. actions under Trump amount to a new economic war against Iran and vowed the country will not succumb.

France completed repatriation of all official gold reserves to domestic custody earlier this year, fully clearing holdings kept in the US. Paris School of Economics professor Eric Monnet said the move standardized reserve quality and specs, generated financial returns that helped offset inflationary pressures from the Russia-Ukraine war, and highlighted sovereignty and asset-security concerns amid geopolitical shifts. Governments across Europe, South Asia, Southeast Asia and the Middle East are reassessing overseas custodial risk, and rising geopolitical and market uncertainty is prompting a new round of global gold reserve reallocations.
