Key Findings

Over the past 48 hours, Israel and Iran have intensified attacks on key regional energy facilities, signaling a significant escalation in the conflict. While U.S. President Donald Trump has denied involvement and warned both nations against further targeting of energy infrastructure, his comments likely reflect diverging strategic aims between the United States and Israel.
Energy prices have surged as these latest strikes increase the prospect of a long-term impact on global supplies and suggest a slower resumption of production once the conflict ends. Furthermore, Israel’s targeting represents a notable shift toward degrading Iran’s economic infrastructure to limit its combat capabilities.
The United States and Israel continued a campaign targeting senior Iranian security officials, a tactic which is very likely part of efforts to set the conditions for a civil uprising in Iran. In turn it has left the IRGC in control of most decision making at the political and military level.
