U.S. STRIKES IRAN; “MAJOR COMBAT OPERATIONS” ANNOUNCED
Coordinated U.S. and Israeli military operations are underway. Regional escalation risk is active. This page tracks measurable second-order effects: shipping, aviation routing, energy pricing, and market risk.
AI BRIEF (3–4 SENTENCES)
Initial strikes shift the operating picture from threat posture to active operations, where timelines and retaliation pathways are the key unknowns. Early economic signals often appear first in maritime insurance premiums, airspace constraints, and energy risk pricing. Watch for official statements that clarify scope, duration, and objectives—those cues often precede broader repricing.
WHAT TO MONITOR (PROCESS-BASED)
- Airspace / NOTAM changes and commercial reroutes
- War-risk insurance premiums and tanker routing
- Energy price gaps (Brent/WTI) and LNG spot moves
- Defense / airlines rotation and volatility spikes
- Official briefings (U.S., Israel, allies) and sanctions signals
