The ongoing military conflict between the United States and Israel against Iran, 'Operation Epic Fury', is causing significant market uncertainty, particularly in the defense and oil & gas sectors. The death of Ali Khamenei and the undefined duration of the conflict suggest prolonged instability, potentially leading to increased oil prices and defense spending.

The United States, in a joint military operation with Israel dubbed 'Operation Epic Fury', has launched an attack on Iran, resulting in casualties including Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, and several U.S. military personnel. This unilateral action by President Donald Trump has ignited a significant war powers debate within the United States===United States Congress, which is preparing to vote on resolutions to curb presidential authority. Democrats criticize Trump for not providing a clear rationale or strategy, while Republicans largely support the military focus on Iran. The conflict is expected to be an 'extended air and naval campaign' with no foreseeable end, raising concerns about a longer entanglement and its financial costs.
