US strikes Iran from south to north after Trump threats over Red Sea shipping – Ya Libnan
What it means
Direct US military strikes on Iran represent a genuine escalation well beyond prior rhetorical tensions, and events of this magnitude have historically been associated with sharp spikes in crude oil prices (via Strait of Hormuz risk), a rush into gold as a safe haven, and gains in defense stocks — while broad equities typically face short-term risk-off selling.
