Pentagon plans ground operations in Iran, raising energy price spikes and market risks

The Pentagon is preparing for targeted ground operations in Iran, increasing the risk of wider conflict and causing energy prices to spike due to the blocked Strait of Hormuz. This situation threatens global economic stability and raises concerns about a potential recession. Investors may face short-term market volatility if operations begin but should avoid panic selling, monitor energy markets closely, and consider shifting to defensive investment positions if tensions escalate further.
