Executive summary

The Iranian military has conducted strikes against US assets located at Jordan's Al Azraq base and facilities at Bahrain's Sheikh Isa Air Base, according to reports from Iranian state media. These actions are interpreted as retaliation for recent US military operations that targeted Iranian command centers and missile launch sites in southern Iran.

As of now, US officials have not confirmed any damage or casualties resulting from these attacks. In recent days, Iran has also reported incidents involving US military positions in Kuwait, while Jordan has intercepted Iranian drones approaching its airspace.

Despite the military escalation, diplomatic efforts aimed at restoring a ceasefire continue. Reports indicate that mediators are proposing new negotiations between Tehran and Washington, though the ongoing military exchanges underscore the fragility of any potential de-escalation.

The persistent crisis is likely to maintain negative risk sentiment in the markets, with oil prices remaining supported amid the heightened tensions.
