U . S . strikes Iranian targets after foiling attack on its bases | The Asahi Shimbun : Breaking News , Japan News and Analysis
What it means
Direct U.S. strikes on Iranian targets represent a genuine escalation in this ongoing tension, which has historically been associated with an immediate crude oil risk premium, a safe-haven bid into gold, and gains in defense stocks. Broad equities have tended to see short-term risk-off pressure in such episodes, though these moves often partially reverse once the immediate shock fades.
