The IRGC Navy has confirmed that three oil tankers were struck by mines in an unauthorized route south of the Strait of Hormuz, directly threatening global energy transit routes. This escalation, following the earlier interception of US UAVs, has triggered a flight to safety and a sharp rally in energy equities. While specific oil price tickers are not listed in the immediate feed, the macro implication is a severe supply-side inflation shock that pressures consumer discretionary and airlines while benefiting integrated energy majors and refiners.
