Key Findings

The U.S. has likely exhausted all means to alleviate oil shortages short of reopening the Strait of Hormuz (SoH). Therefore, the conditions for an energy price shock will likely be met if the conflict extends into April. A military escalation from the U.S. and Israel in the coming weeks is likely.
Operation Epic Fury has likely severely degraded Iran’s ballistic missile capacities and its navy while further weakening its ability to support armed proxies abroad. Iran’s nuclear program likely remains intact, and Iran’s political-military establishment remains united and likely capable of maintaining a protracted conflict that causes energy price shocks and regional instability.
A limited conflict will leave the maximalist aims of Operation Epic Fury unachieved, while a prolonged conflict in search of a more decisive outcome brings the almost certain risk of global economic consequences without the certainty of achieving its desired war aims.
The last week has seen a series of terrorist attacks against Western targets likely inspired by the war in Iran rather than orchestrated by it.
