Iran says part of the South Pars gas field was attacked, via State TV, adds the Asaluyeh oil facility was attacked

• Petrochemical facilities were also hit.

The reported attacks on the South Pars gas field and Asaluyeh oil facility in Iran represent a significant escalation in regional tensions, potentially impacting global energy supply. This could lead to higher oil and gas prices, affecting inflation expectations and currency movements, particularly for the USD against commodity-linked currencies. Traders should monitor how this evolves, as it may drive risk aversion and shift flows into safe-haven assets.
