US strikes Iran , Tehran hits Gulf nations
What it means
This event represents a genuine escalation beyond ongoing US-Iran tensions — actual strikes and retaliatory attacks on Gulf nations have historically been associated with sharp crude oil spikes and safe-haven demand for gold in the immediate term. Defense stocks also tend to benefit from conflict-escalation expectations. These moves extend and amplify prior signals rather than simply repeat them.
