Iran-related conflict and economic impacts

Overview

The conflict involving Iran has resulted in significant military and economic consequences. During the initial phase of the war (28 February – 8 April 2026), the United States Department of Defense reported over 400 injury incidents and 18 deaths among American forces, with the Army accounting for more than 270 cases.

Economically, the war has driven substantial shifts in energy and defense markets. In the United States, fuel expenditures increased by approximately US$ 76.5 billion, with gasoline and diesel prices rising by 37.4% and 45.5% respectively. This surge contributed to increased oil revenues in states like New Mexico, which has earned over $240 million per month.

On a broader scale, the conflict between Iran and Israel has generated an economic volume of roughly $160 billion over a 165-day period. This includes massive profits for oil giants, expanded order books for defense companies, and increased revenues for the maritime sector. Security risks near the Strait of Hormuz have forced longer shipping routes, tightening the global tanker supply and driving up freight prices, exemplified by DHT Holdings reporting a 254% yearly growth rate in net profit.
