The ongoing conflict, particularly Iran's threats regarding the Strait of Hormuz and the Houthis's actions in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, significantly threatens global supplies of oil, natural gas, and fertilizer, leading to price volatility. The broader geopolitical instability and potential for escalation create uncertainty for international trade and investment.
A month-long war in the Middle East continues to escalate, with Iran warning the United States against a ground invasion and threatening to target US university branches in the region. Israel has widened its invasion of southern Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah militants, and has conducted airstrikes on Iranian universities. Diplomatic efforts are underway in Pakistan, with Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Egypt meeting to facilitate direct talks between the United States and Iran.

The conflict has resulted in thousands of casualties across Iran, Israel, Lebanon, Iraq, and Gulf states, and has disrupted global supplies of oil, natural gas, and fertilizer, with the Houthis threatening shipping in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
