Middle East live: US strikes target Revolutionary Guard to 'punish' Iran for killed troops
Context
Washington launched its eighth consecutive wave of strikes in Iran overnight Saturday with US Central Command saying the latest attacks had targeted Iran's Revolutionary Guard in retaliation for Tehran's killing of two US troops at an airbase in Jordan. A third US soldier is missing in action. Follow our liveblog for the latest updates.
What it means
This is the eighth consecutive wave of US strikes in an ongoing 22-day conflict that delfee has already covered across 25 prior signals, including an earlier call for higher Brent crude. The strike pattern, actors, and retaliation rationale are unchanged — markets have had ample time to price this escalation cycle. No genuinely new channel or surprise element is present that would warrant a fresh chain.
