The action came after the US bombed Iran for a sixth consecutive night, and while Iranian targets have on several occasions reached into Jordan, it is unprecedented that the Iranians take active aim at sites within Syria .

Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have peaked as the IRGC claimed to have attacked a U.S. Special Operations command center in Syria with missiles and drones. The strike, carried out in retaliation for Iranian casualties, specifically targeted a U.S. base, heightening fears of escalation.

- Defense — Escalating armed conflict in the Middle East is expected to drive increased defense spending and weapon demand globally, potentially boosting order backlogs and stock performance for major defense firms.
하락 영향
- Airlines — Surging oil prices driven by geopolitical instability increase fuel cost burdens, deteriorating airline profitability. Additionally, the potential for flight disruptions on Middle Eastern routes acts as a headwind for investor sentiment.
