Videos show interception of Iranian missiles in skies over Jordan
Context
Sirens blared in several cities in Jordan as Iranian missiles were intercepted.
What it means
A direct Iranian missile strike on Israel — intercepted over Jordan — represents a meaningful escalation beyond the ongoing Israel-Lebanon conflict already reflected in prior signals. Historically, direct state-on-state military exchanges in the Middle East have been associated with a fresh oil risk premium, a reinforced safe-haven bid in gold, and gains in defense stocks. The crude and gold calls build on, but are incremental to, what was already priced in from the Lebanon escalation.
