7/8: CBS Evening News
Context
U.S. announces new strikes on Iran as Trump declares the ceasefire over; Mississippi family demands answers after missing teen found dead.
What it means
A U.S. declaration of new strikes on Iran and the end of the ceasefire represents a genuine escalation beyond prior signals — direct American military involvement raises the risk of Strait of Hormuz disruption, which has historically been associated with sharp spikes in crude oil and gold. Defense stocks and broad equity risk-off moves are also historically associated with this type of direct great-power conflict escalation.
