Iran launches strikes on neighbours as US resumes blockade and Trump threatens to hit power plants
Context
Tehran's attack comes as the US military carried out a fourth night of strikes against Iran after President Donald Trump reinstated its blockade of Iranian shipping around the strait of Hormuz.
What it means
The US formally reinstating a Hormuz blockade and Trump explicitly threatening Iranian power plants represent genuine escalations beyond what prior signals already captured. Historically, credible chokepoint interdiction has been associated with an additional crude risk premium, while named infrastructure threats tend to lift defense stocks and drive incremental safe-haven flows into gold.
