Israel & Yum! Brands

Israel: Israel, in conjunction with the United States, launched strikes against Iran and is engaged in an intensifying military campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon, contributing to regional instability and the ongoing conflict.

Yum! Brands: Yum! Brands faces increased costs, with every $5 rise in per-barrel oil prices adding about $5 million in costs, directly impacted by the Iran war.

Israel: Israel is not a party to the US-Iran agreement and has expressed strong opposition to its terms, particularly regarding its military presence in Lebanon and Iran's nuclear program. It continues to conduct military operations in Lebanon, complicating peace efforts.

Yum! Brands: Yum! Brands is mentioned for selling its Pizza Hut chain, an event unrelated to the core geopolitical conflict.
