Centcom says US launched attacks across Iran
What it means
US strikes directly on Iranian territory represent a genuine escalation well beyond the ongoing tension already priced in — historically, direct US-Iran military engagement has been associated with sharp spikes in crude oil and gold as safe-haven and supply-risk bids surge simultaneously, while broad equities face short-term risk-off pressure. Defense stocks historically benefit from conflict escalation of this magnitude. (Lower-conviction channels were filtered out by our selectivity bar.)
