Multiple explosions reported in southern Iran amid escalation with US
What it means
Reports of actual explosions in Iran represent a genuine escalation beyond the ongoing tension already covered in prior signals — kinetic events historically trigger a fresh crude risk premium, a safe-haven bid into gold, and gains in defense stocks. The crude and gold channels were already partially priced from 15 days of tension, so the incremental move is likely smaller than a cold-start shock would produce. (Lower-conviction channels were filtered out by our selectivity bar.)
