President Donald Trump acknowledged Americans should worry about Iran retaliating on U.S. soil in a Time magazine cover story, stating "I guess" when asked about the possibility. The president added that "some people will die" in the conflict, raising concerns about market stability amid escalating tensions with Iran.

His comments come days after six U.S. service members were killed in a retaliatory drone strike following the joint U.S.-Israel attack on Iran. The conflict has resulted in over 1,000 deaths total, according to the Iranian Red Crescent Society, with relief operations deployed across 153 affected counties.

Financial markets typically react to geopolitical uncertainty with increased volatility. Investors are likely to monitor the situation closely, with defense and energy stocks potentially seeing movement as the situation develops. Wall Street will be watching how the administration handles the conflict amid these growing tensions.
