What it means
This headline — Brent crossing $79 on US strikes on Iran — is a continuation of an ongoing Strait of Hormuz supply-risk situation that delfee has been tracking for over a month, with 121 prior signals already calling Brent up, Gold up, and tanker stocks up. The $79 price level itself confirms those prior calls are playing out rather than adding a new, unpriced channel. No genuinely new actor, escalation mechanism, or market channel emerges here beyond what is already reflected in current prices and prior signals.
