What it means
Direct U.S. strikes on Iran represent a genuine escalation beyond prior tension signals, historically associated with an immediate crude oil spike on Strait of Hormuz supply-risk fears and a sharp risk-off equity sell-off — the Dow's 700-point drop reflects this new shock. Assets like gold and defense stocks were already called in prior signals and are not re-asserted here.
