US - Iran war LIVE Updates : Military bases in Kuwait , Jordan , Bahrain hit as Iran retaliates to fresh US strikes | World
What it means
Strikes on US military bases across three Gulf countries represent a genuine escalation beyond prior signals — historically associated with sharp crude oil spikes on heightened chokepoint risk, a safe-haven rush into gold, and gains in defense stocks. This is a materially new development in the conflict, not a continuation of prior tit-for-tat exchanges. (Lower-conviction channels were filtered out by our selectivity bar.)
