Iran launches missiles as 20 fighters killed by US - Saudi strikes on Iraq
What it means
A genuine multi-actor military escalation involving Iran, the US, and Saudi Arabia in Iraq has historically been associated with immediate spikes in crude oil and gold as supply-risk and safe-haven premiums build, alongside gains in defense stocks. Broad equities tend to see short-term risk-off pressure, though such dips have historically been temporary. (Lower-conviction channels were filtered out by our selectivity bar.)
