US strikes bridges in Iran , which targets a water desalination plant
What it means
US strikes on Iranian infrastructure represent a genuine escalation beyond prior Iran-US tension signals already covered, and have historically been associated with a fresh crude oil risk premium, a safe-haven bid into gold, and gains in defense stocks. The key new element here is direct US military action on Iranian soil, which raises the probability of Iranian retaliation and potential Strait of Hormuz disruption beyond what was previously priced in.
