How Strait of Hormuz dispute led to latest US-Iran cycle of fighting  Al Jazeera US and Iran exchange intensifying fire across Mideast, threatening ceasefire deal  Politico US renews strikes on IRGC; Iran vows retaliation as peace, ceasefire stall  Fox News U.S. and Iran exchange intense new attacks after Trump says ceasefire is ‘over’  NBC News Trump says Iran called to make a deal after U.S. strikes; adds it's unclear if war is back on  CNBC

What it means

This headline is a continuation of an ongoing US-Iran conflict cycle that delfee has already covered across 6 prior signals over the past 12 days. The core market calls — crude oil up, defense up, gold up — were made when the situation first escalated and have been repeatedly reaffirmed. While Trump's 'ceasefire is over' language and Iran's retaliation vows are dramatic, they represent further iterations of an already-escalated standoff rather than a genuine new shock. These moves are already reflected in current prices.
