Iran-US war latest: Trump orders fresh strikes after third tanker struck in Strait of Hormuz
Context
Tehran warns of retaliation after US strikes hit military targets
What it means
A third tanker struck in the Strait of Hormuz and direct US military strikes represent a genuine kinetic escalation beyond prior signals, historically associated with a sharp additional crude risk premium and further pressure on airline stocks via fuel costs. Defense names may see an incremental bid on active US engagement. Gold and broader equity moves were already called in prior signals and are not repeated here.
