While these strikes will have an immediate impact, any retaliation could compound that impact, especially if it extends beyond the immediate region. This strike has also made the US the single largest oil exporter (which is why the dollar also increased in value against other currencies today).

Agreed and there are many dynamics playing in this theater. The rebels have a huge win and have vowed to step up more attacks. Iran may be in hot water and want to back off due to potential backlash of neighbors or it may want to double-down as it sees a potential winning play for their ally. The tech is sufficient to continue to cause harm against other sites, transportation, and critical infrastructure. Iran also has a sizable cyber warfare force that could amplify the impacts. The direction should be clear in the next 2 or 3 weeks.
