Tehran strikes Gulf energy infrastructure after Israel targets Iranian gas field

Israel struck Iran's largest natural gas field, and Iran has conducted strikes on Gulf oil and gas infrastructure while warning it will target energy facilities across the region. The escalation materially raises the risk of regional supply disruptions and upward pressure on oil and gas prices, increasing volatility and risk premia for energy assets and regional markets. Portfolios with exposure to Gulf producers, pipelines, insurers, and energy logistics face heightened tail-risk; consider risk-off positioning and hedges in hydrocarbons and related infrastructure.
