Iran warned the US after a strike on Kharg Island while North Korea fired missiles, elevating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and East Asia. Kharg Island is a key Iranian oil export terminal, so the incident raises downside risks to supply and upside pressure on oil prices and shipping/insurance costs. Expect risk-off flows into safe-haven assets, potential widening of emerging-market spreads, and near-term volatility in energy and regional assets.
