US attack in Iran poses bigger risk to energy market than Venezuela
A potential sustained U.S. military action against Tehran could escalate into a wider Middle East conflict, increasing regional instability and threatening global oil shipments.
Analysts warn that such a scenario would disrupt key energy routes and cut crude flows from one of the world’s most important energy-producing regions, with spillover effects on prices and supply chains.
Governments and markets are closely monitoring tensions, as a larger confrontation could pose a more significant risk to energy markets than instability in other oil-producing areas.
