Market Impact

Event Summary

The U.S. military completed its latest round of strikes on Iran on July 20, hitting Iranian military command centers, missile and drone launch sites, maritime capabilities, and air defense systems. The strikes lasted about five hours, marking the 10th consecutive night of American strikes on Iran. Washington stated it aims to degrade Iran's ability to attack commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. The broader Iran war began on February 28 when the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran, prompting Iranian retaliatory strikes on Israel and Gulf states hosting U.S. bases. The conflict has killed thousands and displaced millions, raised oil prices, and shaken global markets. U.S. troop deaths rose to 17 over the weekend. President Donald Trump vowed revenge and threatened to expand targets to include energy plants and bridges, which international law experts have said may amount to war crimes under the Geneva Conventions.
