NBC: Pentagon Delayed Announcement of Attack on Iran Until Market Close

Odaily reported that NBC said the Pentagon delayed publicly announcing the U.S. attack on Iran until after the financial markets had closed.

According to the report, the timing of this move was intended to lessen the immediate impact on financial markets, including oil prices.

The report has sparked political debate, but there is currently no official confirmation that the delay was meant to manipulate oil prices or the markets.
