Could Iran become America's next 'forever war'?
Context
The ceasefire has collapsed, attacks are escalating and shipping in the Strait of Hormuz remains under threat. Is the US drifting into another open-ended conflict with no clear way out?
What it means
This headline is analytical commentary — 'could this become a forever war?' — rather than a new military action or policy decision. The Strait of Hormuz shipping threat and crude oil moves have already been called in the 29 prior signals covering this ongoing situation. No genuinely new market channel is introduced here that hasn't already been reflected in current prices and prior chains.
