The escalating conflict between Iran and the US, with attacks on Gulf states, raises geopolitical risk premiums in oil markets and could disrupt shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Defense stocks may see increased demand, while energy prices face upward pressure.
Egypt has repeatedly condemned Iranian attacks targeting Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar, describing them as a dangerous escalation and a flagrant violation of sovereignty. The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued multiple statements expressing full solidarity with the affected Gulf states and calling for an immediate halt to hostilities.
