**Summary**: Trump has repeatedly linked an attempted Flydubai hijacking to Iran and warned Tehran would be ‘hit very hard’ if responsibility is confirmed, adding that Iran must sign a deal ‘or it won’t exist any longer.’ Coupled with prior reports of US carrier deployments toward Iran and terrorism indications from US–Saudi sources, this sharply raises near‑term Gulf escalation risk and an Iran oil export disruption premium.

## Detail

1) What happened:
Over the last hour, Trump has escalated rhetoric toward Iran on multiple fronts. He stated that based on what he is hearing, Iran was likely involved in the attempted hijacking of a Flydubai flight and warned several times that Iran would be ‘hit very hard’ if that link is confirmed (reports 5, 21, 24, 30). In parallel, he said Iran must sign a deal ‘or it won’t exist any longer’ (reports 1, 52, 112). These statements come alongside prior reporting of a preliminary terrorism assessment in the Flydubai case by US and Saudi officials (56) and increasing US force posture in the region (including 2,000 Marines and a carrier strike group to the Mideast – 130, and earlier alerts about three carrier groups around Iran).

2) Supply/demand impact:
There is no physical disruption yet to oil flows, but the risk of US–Iran kinetic exchange targeting Iranian assets or proxies is materially higher. Markets will price the probability that any clash spills into the Strait of Hormuz, directly threatening 17–20% of global crude and a significant share of global LNG shipments. Even a 5–10% implied probability of temporary Hormuz disruption typically adds several dollars per barrel to Brent’s risk premium. Iranian exports themselves (~1.5–2.0 mb/d, depending on enforcement) are at risk of stricter sanctions enforcement or direct interdiction if Washington decides to escalate.

3) Affected assets and direction:
The immediate effect is upside risk for Brent and WTI, steeper backwardation in the front of the crude and products curves, and a risk‑off bid into gold and the USD. Tanker equities, especially with Gulf exposure, gain from higher rates but face higher war‑risk premia. EM FX in the region (TRY, PKR, EGP) typically weakens on heightened Gulf war risk.

4) Historical precedent:
Analogous episodes include the 2019 Abqaiq‑Khurais attack and the 2020 US killing of Soleimani, both of which produced 3–10% near‑term moves in crude benchmarks on elevated fears of Hormuz disruption despite the absence of a total closure.

5) Duration:
If this remains rhetorical and no attribution or strike follows, some of the premium should decay within days. However, combined with the build‑up of US forces and ongoing investigations into the Flydubai incident, the structural risk premium on Gulf barrels is likely to remain elevated over the coming weeks.
