Iran-US war latest: Tehran attacks US military bases as Strait of Hormuz standoff escalates
Context
US military's Central Command says it controls the Strait of Hormuz but Iran's Guard rejects claim
What it means
Iran's direct attack on US military bases represents a genuine escalation beyond the ongoing standoff, historically associated with a fresh oil risk premium, a safe-haven bid into gold, and gains in defense stocks. The prior signals in this situation already captured some of this move, but kinetic action against US forces is a new threshold that markets have not yet fully reflected. This is informational analysis, not investment advice. (Lower-conviction channels were filtered out by our selectivity bar.)
