Iran-US war latest: Missile sirens sound across the Middle East after Trump resumes strikes on Tehran
Context
Trump says ceasefire is ‘over’ following strikes on ships in the Strait of Hormuz
What it means
A direct US-Iran military exchange with strikes on Strait of Hormuz shipping is a genuine and severe escalation beyond prior signals — historically associated with sharp crude oil spikes, strong safe-haven gold demand, defense stock gains, and pressure on airlines from fuel-cost shock. This is not a continuation of the Israel-Lebanon situation but a qualitatively new conflict channel involving the world's most critical oil chokepoint.
