US Strikes Tehran , Trump Threatens Kolāng Site
What it means
Direct US strikes on Tehran represent a genuine escalation beyond the prior Iran-US tension signals already in prices — a strike on a capital city has historically been associated with sharp oil spikes (Hormuz closure risk), a strong safe-haven bid for gold, gains in defense stocks, and near-term pressure on broad equities. This is a qualitative step-change from the ongoing tensions already covered, not a continuation. (Lower-conviction channels were filtered out by our selectivity bar.)
