Abstract: The conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran represents a critical source of systemic risk in the global economy. The current study seeks to examine the economic impact of geopolitical conflicts, specifically those between the United States, Israel, and Iran, and their influence on global market volatility. The study provides a critical understanding of the "fear premium" in oil prices, the strategic value of the Strait of Hormuz, and the macroeconomic impacts of inflation and monetary policy. The study employs a qualitative approach in understanding the economic implications of geopolitical conflicts, specifically in understanding the strategic value of the conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran. The United States, as a global hegemon, balances its energy independence and global supremacy. Iran, on the other hand, relies on its energy resources as a shield of sovereignty. Israel, meanwhile, is adjusting to its new status as a net energy exporter. The study reveals that the conflict has accelerated the shift from a "just-in-time" energy policy to a "just-in-case" policy, which has imposed a security tax on global energy consumers. The study also reveals that the conflict has the potential to fragment the global oil trade, which may lead to a shift away from the petrodollar. The study concludes by providing critical "black swan" risks, which may forever alter the global economic order, including cyber-kinetic convergence and the potential collapse of the OPEC+ consensus.
