Potential upward pressure on energy prices if Iran sanctions tighten globally. Increased geopolitical uncertainty may reduce consumer confidence and investment. Voting restrictions could create political uncertainty affecting market stability and business planning.

Central banks may adjust monetary policy based on inflation/uncertainty. Potential retaliatory measures from Iran or allied nations.
