Iran hits Gulf states , Jordan after seventh night of US strikes
What it means
Iran striking Gulf states and Jordan is a genuine geographic escalation — new countries directly hit — not merely a continuation of the existing Iran-US exchange. Historically, a broadening of a regional conflict to new actors has been associated with incremental crude and gold risk premiums and further gains in defense names, on top of moves already in prices from prior signals. (Lower-conviction channels were filtered out by our selectivity bar.)
