US Pentagon Delayed Iran Strike Announcement Until After Market Close

The US Pentagon deliberately waited until after the stock market closed at 4 PM ET on Friday to publicly announce strikes on Iran, according to NBC News, citing a desire to reduce the immediate impact on financial markets.

The US Department of Defense delayed the public announcement of its strikes on Iran until after the close of the US stock market on Friday, as reported by NBC News. The timing was chosen to minimize the immediate disruption to financial markets, a move that underscores the sensitivity of geopolitical events on trading.

The strikes themselves had likely occurred earlier, but the official confirmation was held until 4 PM ET, when markets were already closed for the weekend. This deliberate scheduling aims to give traders and investors time to digest the news without triggering an abrupt sell-off during trading hours.
