Fighting between the US and Iran is escalating again, making a peace deal look less likely. Because war in the Middle East threatens oil supplies, prices are going up.

## Idea

Rising tensions between the US and Iran are directly threatening the stability of global oil shipping routes. When peace talks break down in oil-rich regions, prices tend to keep climbing as supply fears grow. This specific conflict is already pushing energy costs higher, which means major oil companies and energy funds are likely to see a sustained boost to their bottom line.
