Bridges and infrastructure hit as US struck deeper inside Iran
What it means
US strikes on Iranian bridges and infrastructure represent a genuine escalation beyond prior exchanges — historically, such steps have been associated with crude oil spikes on retaliation risk, a safe-haven bid in gold, gains in defense stocks, and short-term pressure on broad equities. The key new element here is the depth of the strikes, which meaningfully raises the probability of Iranian retaliation against Gulf shipping or the Strait of Hormuz.
