US escalates Iran attacks with strikes on bridges , ports , power infrastructure
What it means
US strikes on Iranian ports, bridges, and power infrastructure represent a meaningful escalation beyond prior exchanges and are historically associated with a sharp crude oil risk premium (given Iran's role in global oil supply and proximity to the Strait of Hormuz), a safe-haven bid in gold, and gains in defense stocks. This is a genuine step-change in intensity rather than a continuation of the same pattern, so these moves reflect new information rather than already-priced-in dynamics.
