Cointelegraph: BIG — Iran intensifies tanker attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, putting crude exports at risk

Any sustained disruption threat can tighten near-term supply expectations, lift risk premia in oil benchmarks, and pressure risk assets via higher energy-input costs and inflation uncertainty. Energy-sensitive FX and equities may see heightened volatility as markets reprice tail risks.
