The US has a long history of military operations in the Middle East, and similar to past precision strikes on Iranian targets, it has maintained regional deterrence through limited actions.
In terms of capital flow, energy traders are preemptively hedging against supply disruption risks, with funds moving from risk assets to defensive commodities, while strategically, global markets reflect geopolitical uncertainty through price signals.
Similar to historical Gulf conflict market reactions, the current situation in the Middle East is in a phase of localized escalation.
Essentially, this is a reconstruction of geopolitical capital; US strikes increase the risk premium on crude oil supply, as they directly impact Iranian energy infrastructure, thereby reshaping global oil trade routes and capital risk allocation.
