US military launches new airstrikes to punish Iran for deaths of US troops

What it means
US airstrikes on Iran in retaliation for US troop deaths are a serious escalation, but this situation has been active and covered for 22 days with 25 prior signals — including an already-called Brent crude move up. Markets have had ample time to price in the risk of tit-for-tat strikes between the US and Iran, and retaliatory airstrikes, while severe, fit the established pattern of this conflict rather than representing a genuinely new channel or shock. No fresh causal chain is warranted beyond what has already been reflected in prior signals.
