CNBC Daily Open: Iran retaliates in 'revenge' attacks
By Leonie Kidd
Published on March 18, 2026.
Iran has retaliated against Israel and U.S. assets in the Middle East, vowing revenge for the killing of its security chief, Ali Larijani. The attacks show Iran's power and demonstrate the willingness to strike back at Israel and the United States. Meanwhile, the international community remains reluctant to support President Donald Trump in a full-scale war situation. The Federal Reserve is set to make its latest interest rate decision later on Wednesday, with markets pricing in a near-zero chance of a cut. Technology is also on the agenda, with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stating that open-source AI agent platform OpenClaw is 'definitely the next ChatGPT'.
