What it means
Iran directly striking a U.S. base for the first time since the Trump pause is a genuine escalation that has historically been associated with a safe-haven bid in gold, gains in defense stocks, and a crude oil risk premium. Broad equities may see short-term risk-off pressure, though such dips have historically tended to be short-lived absent a further escalation.
