Iran's Supreme National Security Council has threatened to strike oil facilities, undersea cables, and AI datacenters across seven Gulf countries in the event of a US-Israeli attack. This escalation has triggered a flight to safety, pushing US Treasury yields below 5% and lifting energy stocks as a hedge against potential supply disruptions. The threat extends beyond traditional energy to critical digital infrastructure, adding a new layer of systemic risk to the technology sector. The US government announced a deal to purchase 850 F-35 fighter jets from Lockheed Martin, reinforcing the defense sector's growth trajectory amid global instability. In Europe, Germany signed a partnership with Nvidia to integrate AI into its industrial base, highlighting the strategic importance of semiconductor and AI infrastructure. These developments support long-term bullishness in defense and industrial tech, countering short-term market volatility.
