A lower-probability but market-relevant scenario is that Washington determines the drone activity was part of an Iranian-directed operation against U.S. forces. If the evidence is strong enough, the U.S. could respond through military, cyber, or covert action against Iranian-linked assets, lifting oil and defense shares while pressuring risk assets.
