Context
Oil prices hit a four-week high as the US and Iran traded strikes
What it means
This headline is a continuation of the ongoing Iran-US military confrontation that delfee has tracked for 17 days across 19 prior signals. The prior chain already called Brent crude up on Hormuz supply-risk, and oil prices hitting a four-week high suggests that premium is already reflected in current prices. The use of unmanned kamikaze boats is a tactical variation, not a structural escalation that opens a new market channel beyond what was already priced in.
