The event describes the ongoing geopolitical conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran, which began less than a week ago with bombing operations against Iran. This conflict has led to a significant surge in global oil prices, with Brent Crude and West Texas Intermediate reaching near two-year highs. The war has also disrupted Iranian gas exports, raising concerns about a potential bidding war for energy between European Union===Europe and Asia, as highlighted by the International Energy Agency. The prospect of sustained higher fuel prices has negatively impacted airline stocks like Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, and American Airlines, and has caused broader market indices such as the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq to open lower.
