Trump says Iran called to make a deal after U.S. strikes; adds it's unclear if war is back on CNBC Inside Trump’s Oval Office Decision to Ditch the Iran Ceasefire WSJ U.S. intensifies strikes on Iran’s coast along Strait of Hormuz The Washington Post Iran War Live Updates: U.S. and Iran Trade Fresh Strikes The New York Times Iran war live: Tehran retaliates in Kuwait and Bahrain after second day of US strikes Reuters
What it means
The active expansion of strikes to the Strait of Hormuz coastline and Iranian retaliation into Kuwait and Bahrain represent a genuine escalation beyond prior signals — historically associated with a fresh crude supply-risk premium, continued safe-haven demand for gold, and further pressure on fuel-sensitive airlines. The 'unclear if war is back on' framing adds uncertainty rather than resolution, which tends to keep risk assets under pressure.
