#IranUSConflictEscalates 🌍⚠️
Global markets are entering another dangerous volatility phase as tensions between the US and Iran escalate near the Strait of Hormuz — one of the world’s most critical energy corridors.
This is no longer just a regional conflict.
Nearly 20% of global oil and gas flows through Hormuz, meaning every military headline now directly impacts:

• Inflation expectations
• Global equities
