President Trump declared Iran would "pay many times over" for killing US soldiers, following a weekend that saw 17 US troops killed and 430 injured in the ongoing conflict. Trump's directive includes threats to expand targets to Iranian energy plants, bridges, and the Kharg Island oil hub, alongside efforts to force open the Strait of Hormuz. This significant escalation in Middle East tensions could drive international gold prices higher as a safe-haven asset and potentially increase crude oil prices, impacting Pakistan's import bill and domestic inflation.
