President Trump said he ordered U.S. Central Command to execute a bombing raid that "obliterated" military targets on Kharg Island. Kharg is Iran's main oil export terminal, so the strike risks disrupting tanker operations and could lift crude prices and regional insurance premia, prompting a risk-off move across markets. Monitor crude, Gulf shipping routes, defense names, and safe-haven assets for near-term volatility and potential escalation.
