The IRGC threat directly raises geopolitical risk premium for oil tanker transit in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz. This could disrupt Iranian crude exports and increase shipping insurance costs, affecting global oil supply. The channel is supply_shortage and logistics. Impact is global but concentrated on oil and LNG shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Winners: alternative crude suppliers (e.g., US shale, Saudi Arabia). Losers: Iranian crude buyers, shipping lines exposed to Gulf routes.
