"The new event explicitly states that 'Renewed US-Israeli military actions against Iran' triggered the energy cost spikes. Event 1 describes a specific joint preemptive strike on Iranian infrastructure, which is a direct instance of these military actions, thereby causing the economic fallout in Europe."
"Event 7 mentions an Iranian ultimatum regarding the Strait of Hormuz. Threats to or disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz are a primary driver of global energy price spikes. The new event cites rising energy costs as a result of the conflict; the Iranian threat to the strait (Event 7) is a specific mechanism that would cause such spikes, linking the military/diplomatic tension to the economic outcome."
