- Major indices are under significant pressure—with the S&P 500 down 1.9% and Nasdaq down 2.0%—following Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the intensifying U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict.

- The company remains dependent on capital markets and execution timelines, leaving it exposed to broader market fluctuations and shifting investor risk appetite.
