About this market
**The 2026 Iran war, which began with joint U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on Iranian targets on February 28, has been the dominant driver of trader positioning.** Israel conducted extensive operations against military, government, and infrastructure sites across Iran through at least June, alongside sustained airstrikes and ground actions against Hezbollah in Lebanon. These two fronts, combined with ongoing strikes in Syria and against Houthi targets in Yemen, have anchored the strong market consensus around four countries struck. Intermittent exchanges continued into summer, including June reciprocal strikes, while activity in Gaza and potential proxy sites in Iraq has remained more limited or secondary. Traders appear to view additional expansion beyond these core theaters as unlikely absent major new escalation before year-end.
