US launches fresh wave of strikes on Iran after Trump declares ceasefire over
What it means
Trump declaring the ceasefire over and ordering fresh strikes on Iran is a genuine escalation beyond the ongoing tensions delfee has already covered — ceasefire collapse and resumed US combat operations have historically been associated with immediate crude oil spikes on Hormuz supply-risk and a renewed safe-haven bid in gold. Defense names also tend to respond positively to a sharp increase in active US military engagement. These moves build on prior signals but are amplified by the surprise of a ceasefire breakdown.
