Sectors that may feel it

Oil & gas
Higher crude can help upstream pricing but may raise costs and policy pressure across the energy chain.
Potentially negative

Higher fuel costs can hurt airline margins if oil prices rise.
Potentially negative
Infrastructure
Costlier fuel and risk-off sentiment can raise project costs and slow activity.
Potentially negative

What happened
Iranian officials said they see the US voters rejecting war in a positive light. But Khamenei warned that US hostility will not end. The headline points to a harder tone, not a clear policy shift.
Why it matters
For India, any rise in Iran-US tension can matter through crude oil, shipping and broader risk sentiment. India imports most of its oil, so any threat to Middle East supply routes can quickly feed into fuel costs and inflation expectations.
Global impact
Global markets usually react first through oil, shipping insurance and risk appetite. If tensions rise, energy stocks can gain while airlines, transport and broader equities can come under pressure.
