The Iran conflict is not a singular event, but rather a symptom of a broader structural issue – the ongoing struggle for regional dominance and the impact of economic sanctions on the Iranian economy. This narrative is often overlooked in mainstream coverage, which tends to focus on short-term market fluctuations rather than the long-term consequences of these actions. As a result, investors and policymakers fail to address the root causes of the conflict, perpetuating a cycle of instability.
