Bessent: US to Press Ahead in Iran War, Hormuz Crisis Building

US plans to press ahead in a confrontation with Iran, with a growing crisis around the Strait of Hormuz. That escalation raises the risk of shipping disruptions and upward pressure on oil prices, creating a broader market risk-off environment. Investors should expect heightened volatility in energy markets and potential spillovers into equities and credit spreads.
