War's Unintended Consequences: How the Iran Conflict Is Redrawing the Global Economic Map The escalating conflict between the United States and Iran is creating starkly different fortunes for two major companies: Lockheed Martin, which is thriving on increased demand for military hardware, and American Airlines, which is hemorrhaging profits due to rising fuel costs.

The company's order backlog has reached a record high of $230. 4 billion, underscoring its dominance in the defense industry.
