You cannot predict when tensions will escalate or cool down. You cannot forecast oil prices, global sanctions, or international diplomacy. But you can control your asset allocation, your time horizon, and your ability to stay calm. If your goals and risk appetite are aligned, there's no reason to change revisit your portfolio, but don't overhaul it.
