Executive Summary: 

  • The Iran-Israel-US Conflict is the main concern for energy markets, with US direct involvement raising fears of an Iranian retaliation.
  • While some form of Iranian response against US military targets is likely, attempts to directly disrupt energy flows or shut the Straits of Hormuz remain very unlikely.
  • While the Iran conflict continues, additional sanctions against Russian energy appear very unlikely.
