Iran hits US allies as Israel warns missiles could land on its territory
What it means
Iran striking US allies while Israel warns of incoming missiles represents a material escalation in Middle East tensions, which has historically been associated with a safe-haven bid into gold, a crude oil risk premium, and gains in defense stocks. Broad equities may see short-term downward pressure, though such moves have historically been modest and often reversed within weeks.
