Iran's joint military command has announced a significant escalation in regional tensions by targeting Dubai's aviation hub and commercial shipping lanes across the Gulf. The military leadership further declared its intention to strike banks and major financial institutions throughout the Middle East, marking a strategic shift toward critical economic infrastructure. These direct threats to a global logistics and financial center have triggered extreme risk aversion across international markets. Analysts warn that such attacks could severely disrupt global trade, maritime safety, and the stability of the regional banking system. Consequently, investors are bracing for a surge in safe-haven assets like XAU/USD and Brent Oil, while regional equity markets, including the DFMGI, are expected to face significant downward pressure.
