Jordan downs 3 Iranian missiles; IRGC: Hormuz to stay shut until US ‘ends its aggression’
Context
Knesset approves law restoring Chief Rabbinate’s monopoly over kosher certification * US official says no meeting scheduled between Trump and Netanyahu, as PM said seeking to visit DC next week The post Jordan downs 3 Iranian missiles; IRGC: Hormuz to stay shut until US ‘ends its aggression’ appeared first on The Times of Israel.
What it means
An explicit IRGC threat to close the Strait of Hormuz — a new escalation beyond the general Iran-US tension already priced in — has historically been associated with a fresh crude risk premium and a lift to defense stocks. Jordan's active missile intercepts add military-operational weight to the threat. Most of the prior move in crude is already reflected; this is an incremental, not a full reset, of the risk premium.
